Lanarkshire woman highlights dementia's devastating effect on her beloved mum

Margaret is a Lanarkshire woman who feels she ought to wear a badge that reads: “Please be kind to my mum.”

That way, it would be less likely that people would be offended when her mum’s dementia makes her say something inappropriate. And, just maybe, they might think twice before laughing at her sometimes outlandish, and occasionally irreverent, behaviour.

Back in 2019, Margaret knew, in her heart of hearts, that her mum had dementia. We have chosen not to use Margaret's full name in order to protect her mum's privacy.
