[quote=Anonymous] Op, my mil passed away in Oct from dementia. She was pretty similar to your mom, about 4 years ago-stopped driving (lost, fender benders), no cooking (could pour cereal but not do the steps of cooking), repeated the same story over and over. Around 3 years ago, she tried to walk to Walmart-which is across a 6 lane road with no sidewalk, you don't walk there. And she got lost. Thankfully a Good Samaritian ushered her to safety and called the police. At 2 years ago, she stopped speaking much and only knew her dh and son. They started having help come in a few hrs a day then. In the last year, it was more rapid decline, she could not care for her needs at all, she basically stopped eating and drinking, which is how that goes. In her case , she never got belligerent or violent-actually was quiet. I'm sorry OP. I would take her to the dr to make sure it's not some treatable issue. [/quote]
