A look at the relationship between father and son when Dad has dementia

Father's Day is this Sunday. If you're getting ready to celebrate Dad or the father figures in your life, take a moment to pause and simply soak it all in because so quickly the dynamic can change when a parent is diagnosed with dementia.

    Please include their website link. Its extremely uplifting to see this especially since being impacted by a father who started to have dementia before he passed away a little over a year ago and then, within six months, my wife was diagnosed with FTD. Its just been unbearable to see her struggle with things for the first time. When a loved one becomes the victim of this illness, its just terrible. At the same time, those moments when they are fine and act like the same person you have known for years are just so special. That hope is so important for loved ones and care givers. The experience makes you appreciate every good time you share with anyone important in your life. Happy Father's Day Dad....

    All Westerners need to understand that they have a complete and full responsibility to their aging parents who raised, and cared for them all their lives....it shouldnt have to be said, but sadly, its an issue that needs to be focused on. Society and governments as a whole, should value, support and care for the elderly with all they have. It is how you define and judge a society

    It can turn very different way, I have a neibough whose mum has the same problem, year by year he becomes so frustrated, he said he did not wish his mom die but his own life is blocked, he can’t just travell and his mom does not want to go to shelter, he wants it but mom does not, she can’t even remember how to open, lock the door… my respect to those who have so much patient as care givers. Dr Ed brings a lot of laughters to me, he can be forgetful but always be a standard father which make his children respect him in any period of his life.

    From what Dan shared in previous videos, he had a heart attack, leading to his decision to retire early. He's also responded to his father's concern about surviving and/or taking care of him (can't recall the exact details) that the videos bring in some money.
