So dad, 82, seems to be getting worse, words are very jumbled and getting quite angry some evenings and mum, 86, is really struggling. We're still waiting on an appointment at the memory clinic which I'll chase tomorrow. But I go away on holiday in a couple of weeks and I think the reality of that is dawning in mum. I've got as much in place as I can, my cousin and a friend will pop in, take them out etc. And I've just found out that their cleaner does private care and will come in for an hour or so each evening just to check all is OK. Dad doesn't need help dressing, washing etc, it's just the confusion and anger. I've tried to get mum to call the doctor and say how she feels but she's just worried they'll put her on anti depressants but I'm so worried she will have a break down. Her mobility isn't great and she gets scared with dad sometimes. I have been trying to not increase how much I am at their house before I go so that she's not too reliant o me but feel so guilty when she's tearful. Just don't know how long she can do this for and what the next steps are. Just feel like there is no clear path of help
