Hi Anonymous, It sounds like there are 2 different questions that you are crappling with. One is who is going to care for your dad and how, and the other is, what's the best way to help your mom as her alzheimer's progresses. Has your mom been the care taker for your dad, or the other way around, or someone else? Can you take some time and sit with your mom and really hear her - what she is feeling, can you walk through with her through her anger? Does that make any sense?
My mom is 68 and was diagnosed 3 years ago with alzheimer's. She is at a point where she is angry and not wanting to be around my dad. We are unsure what to do. He needs help, but she seems too young to be in a nursing home.
