Hi
Help, please!
I have no idea who to ask for advice, but I can’t keep having the same conversations with my parents.
My mum has short term memory loss, which is much more pronounced when stressed, which she is at the moment, due to my dad’s behaviour.
My dad had a mental health break down and as a result the “empathy” part of his brain doesn’t work. (Please don’t pile on me if my terminology is wrong, I am doing my best).
The Community Mental Health team won’t do anything because he isn’t showing signs of suicide, but he is behaving irrationally - obsessive behaviour, financial irresponsibility (after a life time of not spending excessively), control; both physically as my mum can’t drive at the moment and emotionally as he won’t share paperwork with her if it is in his name.
She isn’t mentally or emotionally in a position to tell him to fuck off. She did leave temporarily , but couldn’t remember why she left and then we had the whole conversation all over again.
Dad needs help as he is as mad as a box of frogs.
mum needs help as Dad being as mad as a box of frogs is stressing out her already confused head.
Whst can I do? X
