Hi,
My Nan has been diagnosed with dementia and we have taken the necessary care etc for her, She is due to start her course of medication tomorrow and we have a carer going in daily building up a relationship with her etc.
However, what is tearing our hearts out is her hatred towards my Grandfather. They still love together etc but she hates him and wishes him dead daily. He is not a well man either and has lost all his confidence following a small spell in hospital.
I write this as non us know what to do when her hatred comes out. This evening she was screaming from the front door that he was going to beat her up and that she wanted this man out of her house. Thankfully, the neighbour was out and she took my Nan into the house and calmed her down and notified us etc.
My Grandad is no way hurting her and never has, but what do we do in this situation. It is always at night and she oftens just goes out for a walk?
Please help...
