My mother has dementia and I don’t know how to deal with it
My mother has been suffering from dementia for the past four years and it is gradually getting worse. She is living in a nursing home and I go and see her twice a week. On a good day she remembers my name but on a bad day she treats me like a child and she has no idea who I am. She screams for the nurses to come and take me away as she says I am going to kill her. We did not have the best of relationships when she was well and now I resent going to see her and cannot wait to get away. I am sad it has become like this and I don’t know how to make my visits bearable.
