[quote=Anonymous]It would be unusual for a person that age who is physically unable to care for themselves to be cognitively unaffected. Among other issues, stress and emotions can come out sideways. It’s time to stop relying on your mom to make logical conclusions or to have reasonable emotional reactions. If she lashes out at you, you can’t take it personally. Keep visiting, and validate the emotion even if it’s unjustified. “You stole from me, you know.” “Mom, I can tell you feel like I have control of your finances and you don’t always know what’s going on. That must feel really awful.” “You didn’t visit me” [because I accused you of stealing] “It must feel kind of lonely here when you don’t have visitors. I’m glad I was able to come today.”[/quote]
