I hope you find someone to talk it through with - I'm sure that will help. <br />I don't know how you are managing to write at all with all of this going on but perhaps it is a kind of escape? <br />All the best, anyway. I hope things get better soon.

I don't know if they'll be able to help with your specific issue, but have you thought of calling the Alzheimer's Society? They have some very good fact sheets about all aspects of dementia on their website, including legal and financial issues (although I expect you're already aware of most of these). However, they also have a helpline on 0845 300 0336 where you can speak to a trained adviser (I think you leave a number and they call you back) about any aspects of your situation and they have dealt with most types of things before. I called them when we were having difficulty getting the care my dad needed and they were really helpful and supportive. At the very least it's someone to talk to who will understand what you're going through, although I expect they will be able to advise on whether there are other things you could be doing to get this sorted as well. Worth a try?<br /><br />In any case, I hope things improve for you soon.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288574214855156268noreply@blogger.com
