Hello! My husband has a big problem. Namely, his mother has dementia. I want to know how to support a husband whose mother has dementia. I hope that you will tell me what I need to do. He is very upset and nervous. I feel; like my arms are tied. This is very important to me and I really need urgent reply.

Hello! You need to talk to him and to inform him that you want to be involved in this situation. Be full of sympathy for him. Prepare that you will need probably to live with his mother because she will not be able to take care on herself due the time passes. You can take her to some home for the aged (but I think that it is not a humane act).
