My dad has Alzheimers. Middle stages. My mum, understandably is really stressed and it is making her really horrible to me. I understand why but its hard. My dad is ok. But he is not my dada anymore. In some ways he is but he cant join in with conversations, he is quiet, he has a good sense of humour and enjoys simple things, birds, watching small children skipping along the street. He enjoys his sport and watching football as he always has. We take him to the match and he has no idea who is playing. But I just can't shake this sadness and spend most of the time on the verge of tears. I have 3 teenage children who are great, but demanding, a full time job. My inlaws are 10 years older than my dad - why him? I just feel so sad. I know there is much worse to come I just don't know if im strong enough to deal with it.
