please help me. my mother has the onset of alzheimers probably for the past two years, dementia for the three years prior to that. She is reverting back to childhood and is very selfish. Everything is about her, my daughter and myself have moved in with her(not by choice) because she is unable to care for herself. Yet, she thinks that she is fine by herself, yet when I leave for a long period of time, she gets all pissed off and will not speak for several days (which sometimes isn’t a bad thing LOL). I really did not have a choice in moving in and taking care of her, I guess it was out of duty for being my parent, but sometimes I would love to pack my things and run far, far, far away and not have to deal with this for several weeks, but then who would take care of her, obviously, not her favorite twin sons, because they barely even call her when she is feeling better, she has had two surgeries this past two months, do you think that they came down, ohhh no because their work is more important, and sister has no life and had to quit her job to take care of mommy dearest.
Thanks for letting me vent. Sometimes it is just hard to deal with this situation.
