Reply To: Advice for coming out to relative with dementia?

[Michelle Lawson]

Emily, living in the ‘Colonies’, I can’t give you much advice on how to handle your situation as it relates to UK law. In mys situation (I’m 64), I have an 85 year old mother that lives with me. She doesn’t have ‘dementia’ per se, but I can see the old age related signs of it. I came out to her a few years ago, and she has been great with it. This might be a good topic for discussion with a therapist if you have one. Sorry I can’t help more (besides some virtual hand holding), but good luck, and I wish you the best. Hugs, Michelle
