It was inspired by one of my oldest friends, whose husband is sadly suffering from Alzeheimers, although it is written in the context of a "mother/daughter" relationship.

My dad had dementia. Thank goodness he never got to the last stages but it strikes a chord.

I'm sorry for all those people who have experienced this. From what I've observed, the cruellest thing (which I tried to reflect in this) was the constant change between reality and non-reality, which has a very debilitating effect on the carer and which must be extremely frustrating and upsetting.
