[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is often more symptomatic with certain people, and certain things can be triggers--people shes known a long time, people who are more excitable (kids), etc. It's very common. I recommend glancing through this book: https://www.amazon.com/Coping-Behavior-Change-Dementia-Caregivers/dp/0692385444

[b]Because in my experience the behavior changes are subtle and start years before acute memory loss. A neurologist friend recommended this book and I felt like "Finally! The gaslighting is over."[/b]

I am sorry this is happening to you.[/quote]

This is what has been happening - certain people are "acceptable" (whether or not the parent knows them well), and certain people are not (again, no rhyme or reason). It can be frightening and hard to deal with, especially with kids around, so I appreciate the support and input. Please keep the information coming, I need to be educated about this, and not do the wrong thing. It is a sensitive topic, and family is not very likely to discuss it out loud.  [/quote]
