I am caregiver to my husband who has Parkinson's, dementia. I tried to work but he can't be left alone, every where I go to grocery shopping, beauty shop,paying bills, etc. He wants to be in the car when it moves. I could get someone to stay with him but he will not allow it. Our children work and not available, he will not go to anyone"s house to visit but for about 15 mins. and he is ready to go home.,If I will not get him something to drink like tonight, I was busy at the time, he tried to hit me, he goes to a mental health clinic and thought he was improving but at the snap of a finger he is raging. Any body else have a situation like this.

Yes, and I am sorry to say it will get worse. Talk to the MD at the clinic and share your experiences. At some point you may have to call 911 and have him admitted for a psych eval and very possible placed in Memory Care. So sorry you are going through this.
