My Dad isn't right either. He had a nasty fall about four years ago resulting in a.bleed on his brain. He has similar problems to mom, confusion, memory loss etc but also jealousy & paranoia. They need lots of support & live over an hour away, so keeping me very busy.

My Sister says my Mom would die of embarrassment if she could of seen herself the last few year's, but luckily she is un- aware. The only saving grace.

Sorry to read this, Lynn. It’s something we all hope we don’t come to and it must be terrible for early onset sufferers who are aware to start with and understand what is going to happen, but for those unaware it’s a blessing.

You must be exhausted. Hope you’re taking care of your own well-being too. x
