Just need to have a bit of a moan, sorry. Dear dsm moved into sheltered accommodation mid December. I'd passed over responsibly to my step brothers, her sons as I'd dealt with dads Alzheimer's alone from his diagnosis two years ago, he's now in care after a torrid few months which involved him going missing from both hospital and home and being sectioned. I'd supported dsm all through this us her diagnosis with Alzheimer's as well last January. Since Christmas the phone calls I'm getting from her are increasing daily, she just won't leave me alone. I had seven calls one after the next yesterday, each call came with a voice mail and she rang straight away after leaving the voice mail in the afternoon, this was on top of the five I'd had in the morning. Each message is more and more desperate, pleading with me to call her. It's heartbreaking but there isn't a particular problem. Yesterday afternoon was because wanted to go to the shop but as ever wanted me to tell her if there was anything else she had to do. Even after I spoke to her she called me another four times plus I get countless blank text messages. She only has a mobile as my step brothers don't think she needs a landline but she clearly can't use the mobile properly, often missed calls and if she doesn't answer it she can't retrieve her voice mails and always calls me to see if it was me who called.
I'm having a nightmare trying to get all the information I need for the court protection orde I'm applying for to become dads deputy as I don't have POA and this is down to dsm being difficult when dad still had capacity. I d already had two phone calls from my solicitor and had to call dads bank customer service but I've got to go to the branch tomorrow. All of this when I'm at work. By last night I was dizzy, the room was spinning, I was hit and cold tearful and shaking. My oh is threatening to bar her number so she can't keep calling me as he can see the effect it's having and if I'm honest I really wouldn'mund. I said yesterday for her to call my sb but she said he's at work but when I said so was I she just said yes but it says on this price of paper that it's ok to call you during the day!! I've never felt like I did last night, I've inly ever come close to fainting once but I thought I would pass out and I truly did feel dreadful. I do know I can't carry on like this with her
