[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FrontoTemporal Dementia brought out the absolute worst in my mother. It was so difficult being around her. The anxiety she had her entire life, turned into crazy paranoia. I was there for her, but was lucky that we could hire help to deal with her 24/7[/quote] Yes, it's unreal. The good parts of my mom's personality are weaponized. Her quick wit is now acid and barbed. Her former kindness and empathy is now infuriating self-pity. I miss the old mom so much. I get glimpses of her but I don't even want to be around the current version. It's not her fault. I'm trying to reframe my own thinking - trying to think of it as a brain injury. It really sucks.[/quote]
