[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is only 68 and in good physical health.  But lately, I am beginning to worry about her mental capacity.  She has lost or accidentally destroyed three iphones over the past 12 months.  She picks DS (10) up from an almost full day camp at our local Y and watches him for an hour in the evening, but needs us to go over the pick up and drop off instructions multiple times, even though it has been at the same place and time all summer.  She often asks for the same piece of information multiple times (e.g., we were going to brunch and she asked for the address of the restaurant and meeting time 4 times).  I feel terrible saying this, but she also seems to have lost interest in talking about anything other than herself (minor disagreements she had w friends from her church choir or book group) or vaguely mean gossip about relatives  - she does not ever ask anything about DS, or DH, or I any more at all, which is a big change.  I suggested that she see a doctor and she got really offended and brought up the fact that she was capable of doing several trips to Europe with her younger sister this past year (which is true) and is just fine.  Should I leave her alone, or keep pressing this?[/quote]

Sounds like my mom five years ago. Same age. Same behaviors.

She now thinks Trump is bugging our family’s cell phones.
