Dementia is a horrible horrible illness and I don’t wish it on anyone, I am honestly truly sorry that her and her family are going through that. However Becki made her video all about her and how it affects her. The fake tear she wiped away was enough for me. She can’t even tell you what vascular dementia is ffs
I lost my Dad at 12 years old after a 2 year fight with a horrific aggressive cancer. Even as a 12 year old, I stepped up with looking after my sister and my mum to an extent. I’d help with washing the dishes, doing washing, I’d take my sister to school so mum could get on with looking after Dad (I’d walk her to primary before I went on to high school), sometimes I’d make the dinner (macaroni cheese because the only thing I could make haha!), I’d make up Dad’s supplement drinks because it made me feel like I was doing something to help and I feel that’s more than Beck could even imagine doing for her family. One of my favourite final memories of him is climbing into bed with him after school and reading his favourite football magazine with him while Mum took my sister to the shops because I was trusted to “look after” Dad for that short time.
She had every opportunity to show positive things that she’s done to help. “I’ve learned to drive so that I can take Dad to appointments or out for the day to help Mum and give her a break” realistically these thoughts have never crossed her mind.
