Faterh has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and dementia. We have thought that for a few years but just got confirmation today.

He is 84 and has other numerous heart conditions.

Am I wrong in hoping he passes away quite quickly? My Mother is 80 and won't really be able to cope with him in the state he is in. He is not the Father I know and remember. I love him to bits but don't want to see him suffer and degenerate to the point that he doesn't know any of us or his past. I doubt it will be pleasant for him our family.

your thoughts please.

Dick

Thanks for all your replies.
Had a few drinks now and am feeling it more TBH. Which I'm sure doesn't help in the long run.

Just hope my mum can cope. We live a mile away which is a bonus, if you can call it that.

going off for a bit of a cry now (not the Pistonheads way I know, Powerful, Goatee and Director sort of way etc etc).

thanks.

Dick
