[quote=Anonymous]My mother is losing it and talking to her is like talking a teen in some ways. She and her friends are all very melodramatic about things. She informed me her friend's kids had the nerve take away her car due to Covid to make sure she does social distancing and how cruel that is. I know the kids. They took away her keys and car because she is a danger on the road and could kills someone. I gently explained this to my mother who insists her friend is being tortured by the adult kids (who are lovely people).

She gets into fights with store clerks, receptionists, nurses, you name it and it is always, always their fault. She was screened for dementia is supposedly fine and she got a checkup recently. She has lost her ability to see another person's point of view.

She tells stories of mean, awful adult children who put her friends in assisted living and memory care. They chose beautiful facilities and it was a well thought out plan for the safety of their elderly loved ones.

She then tells of the saint who moved her mother in. That mother has been a free nanny on and off to them over the years and she is again living with them-takes care of grandkids, cooks meals and CLEANS! She is also her daughter's best friend and personal therapist. Who wouldn't want that situation in your house as opposed to somone who is always angry, refuses to take anti-anxiety meds and who threatens to ruin your life if you ever take her car keys.[/quote]
