hi i realise this may be in wrong place ..my 47 year old husband was diagnosed with bi polar /manic depression at the start of the year after a very long time of being ill then some recovery .well i thought we will cope as best we can .he lost his job everything after 30 in same firm .the only job he ever had .he now gets sickness money from government ..the poor man has been getting worse no memory /aggression .getting lost on simple journeys /terrible shaking .well on wednesday he was diagnosed with early onset DEMENTIA.i am shattered i just feel terrified for the children not babies thankfully .late teens .but i feel he is a young ish man how the hell are we going to live with this .he told me just to leave him .not that i would after 25 year but no point kidding .i don,t feel angry at what my life will probably become .i think i am sad because my mum died just last year so my life seems to just collapsing about me .my inn laws are just trying to ignore the fact .they just make a joke of it all .i know there is nothing i can do to change the situation but i am so scared .any advice from anyone would be greatfully recieved thanks .

Hi aprilanne,

We're so sorry you're going through such a hard time. Flowers

Just wondered if you'd like us to move your thread over to our Relationships topic? We're sure there are plenty more MNers who'll be able to offer you advice and support over there.

Just drop us a line if so.
