    Sorry to hear about your parents. 
    What type of dementia do they have?
    Early onset 


    Aggression and violence don't present in early onset.. it shows a lot later on..
    Sorry got it wrong I don’t know what type but it’s a late one 

    Early onset and late stages are extremely different... I'm confused at how you got that mixed up.. if they are in late stages, they should be in a dementia residential home.

    Given your age, im guessing this dementia set in quite young for your parents? That's really sad, I hope you find them a residential soon if that's what's best for them.

    Lots of places have emergency rooms for severe cases. They normally get moved in really quickly.
    Had experience with all this. My nan died of Alzheimers.

    It may be hard but keep looking for places :) it may be you have to at ones outside your area but I know for a lot of places there starting to open up slowly and I know for my company  they Bassically do 2 weeks self isolation when they get to the home then they are free to roam around <3
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    It's quite concerning that you're being left with parents who have quite advanced neurodegenerative diseases, especially at such a young age. That doesn't sound like a very safe situation to me and it sounds like a safeguarding issue. 

    @Past User  To be completely honest with you, I think you need some additional help beyond the boards. Perhaps on a 1-2-1 basis to alleviate the need to be dishonest so that you can get help for your depression, anxiety, and your home situation. 

    Are you receiving any kind of additional help?

    Yes don’t worry I have therapists and doctors  but I really love the mix  but  Now  maybe need to be quiet on the mix for awhile

    Echo the others, you don't need to be quiet here and you are most definitely deserving of support. I was just thinking that maybe you might benefit from some additional help to make sure that your needs are met.
