Hi, Tara...I know this thread is old AND this is the reason why I joined this group. I'm curious how things have panned out. I am currently in the same situation with my sister in law and she has gotten physical with me two times in the last week. Thanks in advance for sharing what you ended up doing, how your sisters is doing now and any advice you might send my way.

Hi I have been reading these posts. I’m in the same situation with my brother. He has yet to get physically violent but will become extremely irate, use filthy language, scream until he’s can barely speak. He has one by one verbally attacked my 17 year old daughter, my 13 year old daughter, my 18 year old niece, myself and my mother. He was on antipsychotic meds, antidepressant meds, but he now refuses to take them and has become an alcoholic on top of it. My family is at a loss of what to do for him. We are afraid he’s going to eventually hurt himself or someone else.
Hello, Tara I am aware that this thread is old, but it is also the reason that I joined this community. I'm interested to see how things turned out. She has touched me physically twice in the past week while we are still in the same predicament with my sister-in-law. Please let me know what you ended up doing, how your sister is doing these days, and any advise you could have for me.
Salut, Tara Although I am aware that this thread is old, it served as my inspiration for joining this community. I want to know how everything worked out. We are still in the same situation with my sister-in-law, and she has touched me physically twice in the last week. Tell me what you did, how your sister is doing now, and any advice you could have for me.
We have struggled in this area. What helped the most, is learning how to treat someone with dementia. It’s not EXACTLY the same, but enough that it turned our situation totally around. It was getting so difficult to communicate that I found myself as frustrated as my brain injured son. I can do better, he couldn’t….until I did.
search online, I found them on YouTube
