For a few years, I was witnessing some stuff from my aging mother. I am getting some what stressed and distressed with what's happening. I reckon there's something like dementia happening but I don't have it diagnosed. There is so much stuff that's just not right.
Any time I confide in my partner. He makes little if it and he makes a joke of things. He writes off my concerns making a joke. Like asking would there be space for another one in a home referring to his own mother. My mother is not in a nursing home by the way. He's always writing off my concerns with kinda like jokes.
I'm in a place where I need help and support to push for a diagnosis and I really feel like I am not being listened too and basically jokes is not what I need. It not in this way. I am open to jokes or fun but not like this.
I don't like it. I feel like he's not taking me seriously.
As for his own mother: he tells me that she's getting increasing bad with falls and memory loss and anger. I know in my heart and soul that what his mother has is dementia but he's writing off my concerns with her too saying that it's ordinary old age stuff. She's 80. I would like him to go down the path of getting a diagnosis for her. To rule alzemheirs in or out and if she had a diagnosis it would be better for him in that he would be able to understand her more and he would be able to start putting a plan in place of he needs to for the future.
I am not liking his attitude about any of this.
