Ep5-Daughter of Dementia-Is it Okay to Feel Angry and Resentful?

Actor, Kate Russell-Smith, has a mother with Alzheimer's Dementia and a father with Parkinson's Dementia. She also has two children and a career to take care of. In this frank interview, Kate bravely admits the things we don't like to say out loud. She feels resentful of her time being hijacked; she feels guilty for feeling resentful and she is bored of the monotony of it all. Driving away from a care home with tears in her eyes, her mum's words ring in her ears, "I hate you right now."
