My father has dementia and is very loving sometimes and very horrific other times. I cannot deal with living with him and his two personalities. It seems like the nasty personality is coming out more and more. He hates my husband and only wants me here. I feel like I am losing my mind. I have a life that I have neglected for the past year to take care of him. I am an only child and it is tearing me apart. But, it has to be done. He is, also, getting very weak and I cannot lift him on the days he cannot walk. Also, will I have to obtain guardianship to do this? He cannot even sign his name anymore. I have Medical POA.
He visits her 3 times a week when he is not on the road.
It is VERY hard. some days she loves it there , while other days she says "these are NOT my people, I need to go home"
It's so sad. but the facility she is in are so GOOD to her.
We tried at home, but she would get angry and even violent.
So. try this method? I am sure more will comment.
We also went to her Doctor to get him to have her sign the Guardian/POA.
She listens to those in authority better than hubby (as hubby is the bad guy in her eyes:(:(:(
