“There's good days and bad days, the condition does progress, and that becomes a lot more stressful for her to live with, and you as the carer to watch. At times, very frustrating and irritable. It gets worse at night with Barbara; it has to do with our house, she continually asks me over and over again at night whose home is this, are we staying here? Is this house I grew up with my mummy? "

Her husband explained that the "EastEnders" star is always engaged in a fight with the illness, because sometimes when he takes her to the theatre, she tries so much to put herself together, but when she comes out, she regresses to her old self.
