[quote=Anonymous]I posted before, but should mention that reminds me of the descent into dementia with both my parents-especially mom. She got very angry and had quite the mood swings. Both had phases of apathy. My dad definitely had phases where he didn't care at all about grandkids or his own kids and would pick up a newspaper and read as we tried to chat. It was kind of funny in his case and other days he was more social.

Going off on a tangent here, but I can still picture my dad in the middle of the summer, insisting on wearing many layers (another dementia thing) as his grandaughter tries to share one of her long drawn out stories he used to love to hear and he picks up the newspaper and ignores her. Luckily we prepared her so she wasn't offended. Instead she went to the other side of the newspaper and then he covered that area. She just kept shifting and he kept shifting and we all started laughing not at him, but just at the insanity of it all. He thank goodness wasn't combative. Mom is very combative and can be quite scary.[/quote]
