As I suspected it's dementia, probably Alzheimer's.
Sarah doesn't know yet - a woman is coming to talk to her next Wednesday, so she has a week of blissful ignorance to go before the shit hits the fan. PLEASE DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO HER ON FACEBOOK. I need the woman to talk to her and answer her questions, because I have no answers myself yet.
Thank you for your understanding.

Oh hell mate, that's awful news, however long you've suspected.
I'm really not sure what to suggest, other than to make sure you've got a list of questions for when you get the visit from the MH team.
As ever, my phone is always on and our door is always open. You're both welcome at any time.

The MHU woman came today and explained their diagnosis, which Sarah resolutely refused to accept. So now we have to go and see the consultant, and he'll try to explain his decision. If Sarah continues to dig her heels in, then they'll retest her in six months.
So, very important this, if we have a Zoom in the interim please avoid all mention of dementia, Alzheimers, metal health etc etc

Oh bloody hell, mate. This really isn't the outcome from today's meeting you (or any of us) would have been wanting.
From my ridiculously (but thankfully) limited experience this looks (superficially) like other mental health issues - the first step is acknowledging the problem.
Obviously we'll not say anything, but I truly hope Sal will see things differently after some consideration.
As ever, phone any ANY time. And love to you both.

Will you have mine and JBs assurances that we will definitely not mention on our zoom
As a parent of a child who was diagnosed with MH in his twenties I don’t want to say ‘suffered’ but we did.
Im sure I’ve mentioned this before but when Steven worked away the phone calls were very irrational. Now, with hindsight, we know what he was going through pre diagnosis.
When he got his diagnosis it was almost a relief

Will, I’m always here, I’m unsure Sarah will ever accept this. We fully understand the situation but our lips are sealed 🤗🤗🤗
