[quote=Anonymous]I did all these things with dad. These tips are all over the internet. I think it may be part of the DAWN method. I watched videos with tips, read articles. It is useful....with some types of dementia. Mom has angry, hostile, paranoid, save my wrath for one child and act out against others when she distances herself...dementia. I think we need to see more articles about abusive/hostile dementia. Good luck using all these tips when you are the target. Also, researchers are finding a decent percentage of these tyrants always were difficult, so don't it doesn't work to tell us family members it's not the same person at all. In mom's case she is saying all the things she may have said before and then apologized. There is no remorse anymore, no filter and nobody to commiserate with because I am the target and when she lashes out at anyone else it's my fault because I backed away and hired a team to manage her care.[/quote]
