Hi everyone,
A few minutes ago I was scrolling down the list of support groups on this site and the moment I saw the word "Dementia"... BANG! I joined. I did not take the time to check it out. I did not read over the posts or try to figure out who was who or what was what because I am desperate. About five months ago my 76 year old mother started acting weird and was recently diagnosed with dementia. She is delusional, paranoid, hallucinates, the whole nine yards -- and my life has been turned upside down. It got so bad that on one occasion she even attacked me. I went through hell trying to get her treatment and caring for her has been a constant struggle. I just need to be somewhere with people who can relate to what I'm going through because I have had to deal with this all by myself and it's too much! I really hope that this will be a place where I can get some support because I really need it. Daphne Posted on 07/01/09, 07:07 am |
