Present
Sorry to hear of your problems. My mom has had dementia for a little over a year. She would say terrible things about our family that were not true and it took me a while to figure out it was dementia. She also was paranoid. That was difficult and painful to watch, but I got used to it. Now she can't even speak or move. She is in a nursing home under Hospice care and has had a feeding tube in for about a year. She stopped eating because she thought the food was being poisened. I can't imagine how that must feel. Anyway, I live in Iowa and my dad and 3 brothers live in Florida and they have not much to do with our mom, so I know how pettiness can be for sure. I just wanted to give you a BIG HUG and hang in there and be strong. If you need to vent, let me know. I hope you have a good Christmas. Love/Hugs Catie

Thanks for the kind message. I am sending some Sunshine your way as I find these long, cold, dark nights to be very disheartning.

Close Dementia
Mom and dad were married 65 years and a year 1/2 ago she died suddenly . Six months ago my dad was diagnosed with Dementia. Between the rages , abuse, memory loss, depression , and be blamed for things I don`t do or say. I am to say the least having a really bad time. I have been very ill psychiatrically thru my life and have just started to do well. I have no support from my sisters and lots of threats. He DRIVES! I live with him . I welcome any support I can get here .Thank you !
Close Sexual Abuse
I have had multiple sexual abuses both within and outside of my family. I am just coming out of a lifetime of clinical depressions , hospitalizations, shock treatments etc. and am starting to feel pretty good. Unfortunately I am currently a caretaker with no support for my dementia affected father but i am seeking support.I am single a very young 58. I want to deal with this issue as I see clearly now how profoundly it has affected my life.
