[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I haven't (yet). But my advice to you is not to visit your mother. If you choose to, leave at the first sign of belittling.[/quote] I will just say that with parents with dementia you can't really use the parenting technique of natural consequences, because ppl can't learn from mistakes if they don't remember them!! That doesn't mean you have to take abuse - just don't expect leaving at the first sign of abuse to make your mom change her behavior. OP, you did what was sustainable for your family and your sanity. That is all you can do. [/quote] NP, and yes. She's going to be how she's going to be, and all you can do is look out for her interests and your own. Put on your own oxygen mask first; sitting around being abused isn't helping anyone. [/quote]
