    Help me my mom has dementia and my step dad is not taking care of her
    My mom is 62 with dementia. My step dad is 5 years younger than she is. He is not taking care of her like he should. He yells at her because she does not eat. I try to tell him that not eating is part of dementia. He makes her cry. When ever I suguest a solution, he comes up with a reason he can't. How can I get my mom away from this man?!

    Look at this page, see the 800 number in the yellow box, and call that one or clink on the link to take you to the list of states so you can call the elder abuse hot line in your state. Someone will tell you how best to deal with this situation and connect you to real people who will help.
