I'm new to this. Thank you all so much for your kind words. My poor father is just beside himself. He tries so hard to be patient. She's had 2 UTI's because she refuses to get in the shower. She hasn't brushed her teeth in who knows how long. She said she has bit theres no toothbrush. She got violent towards myself and my Dad last month. She was breaking off pieces of wood and when we tried to stop her she came close to stabbing us. It's just really hard. My mom is gone, the one I remember had OCD and now walks around half naked!
Thanks for listening...
