Comment on Living with FTD-Frustration of Diagnosis and Support for FTD Patients by Phil Hong

Hi,
I am totally sympathetic with your circumstances.
I was diagnosed with FTD about 2 years ago.
This was preceded by futile searching with my wife (who has a medical background) because of increasing cognitive difficulties.
My symptoms are not classic, although like a Rorshach test, you can interpret anything after the diagnosis.
There is no support group for FTD patients in Denver, just for caregivers. I do go to an Alzheimer’s support group.
If you know of a way to contact a support group for patients who are aware of their disease, are intelligent and willing to discuss personal feelings and observations, please let me know.
Probably on-line is best because face-to-face requires transportation, etc.
Thanks,
Phil

I have a father that is sexually inappropriate like Annie’s loved one. He is demanding, aggressive, blaming, critical and relentless that he is always right about everything. He is still found capable to make decisions regarding his care and finances although we help him with everything because he really isn’t capable. The writing is on the wall that he will have a serious accident or run through his entire finances if he is left to do what he wants. We argue with him about everything. He doesn’t make sense anymore and the father I knew doesn’t really exist. This selfish, demanding, abusive person has overtaken his body. This is probably the worst thing I have ever had to deal with in my life. I feel so stressed that it is indescribable. Although I am a cancer survivor (twice), I would say the cancer was less stressful to deal with than what my father is going through. No one seems able to understand or help. My father used to be an entertainer so he puts on a nicer act for strangers and treats his family terribly to say the least. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. If only he were deemed incapable we could give him the care he so badly needs and he wouldn’t be taken advantage of by certain whores and strippers, etc. It’s disgusting to watch my father go through his late years with this FTD and not be forced to get the proper care. Sad, sad, sad.
