So difficult living with my mother aged 91 with advance dementia. I now regret agreeing to move in with mum full time and am really starting to resent. She suffers from what is known as ‘sundowning’ at certain times of day where she can become very argumentative and aggressive. She has had falls the last of which she dislocated her shoulder and was in hospital for 3 1/2 weeks at the end of which I decided to move in with her. I am finding it difficult and at times just want to cry and am feeling so low and depressed. I should not have decided to move In with her but should have let her in ward whereby a care home eventually would have been found. You cannot even have a reasonable chit chat because she just doesn’t make sense in whatever she is saying. She has lost interest in TV or radio. She has hallucinations seeing children and people. She asks same questions over and over throughout the whole day. She demands 24/7 attention. I am 69 with heart disease and diabetic. I just cannot keep living like this. Help!
