Like i said i'm in two minds about it. Mainly because i couldnt see me attaching a bracelet or leg tag to my mum and then making sure she was sitting in her chair. I had a good way of keeping my mum in which was take the key for the front door and tying a piece of washing line over the gate at the top which meant she couldnt reach up and open it but yet everyone else could even my niece who was 11 at the time. You do find away round it. Its hard looking after someone who has dementia and you have to make changes to everything you do and the house.

Willow i still looked after my mum even though she called me a prostitute to my face, she said i wasnt her daughter, i was more trouble than what it was worth having me living here.
