[quote=Anonymous]I know it will be hard OP but please don't get "irked," get help. Unfortunately, I agree with the others and this is likely the onset of dementia or other cognitive decline. Please get her evaluated and some help because it will continue to deteriorate and get way worse. It sounds strikingly similar to how my grandfather, during his initial onset,  talked about/to my dad and uncles. He eventually became convinced they were conspiring against him and trying to make him "seem crazy." When that seemed to run its course, they were trying to kill him and "messing" with his medication. Even with all that they didn't want to move him to memory care or a nursing facility because they couldn't picture him not living in the house they grew up in.  Don't do that. In the end I was left begging them to get him help because the police would repeatedly find him wandering and confused. My dad/uncles thought they were helping but all they were doing was robbing him of dignity in his final years. He and they suffered until he eventually very specifically threatened the life of my dad in front of a police officer.  My grandfather going to a specialized facility was the best thing that happened for him and them in his final months. Please consider this when you're thinking about the situation with your mom. She can't help it now and needs you to be practical and deliberate to get her the care she needs.
