[quote=Anonymous] The ironic thing about my mother losing her cognitive abilities is she treats me like I have no cognitive abilities. I got a case manager involved with monitoring her care because she would lash out at me as she declined and didn't have any awareness. That helped. I try to talk to her with dignity and not treat her like a child and yet, she treats me like a child. We had a relationship that was manageable in my 20s and 30s because she accepted I was an adult who got married, had kids and has a career. Now I am fully expecting to get a call this week informing me of things like the war going on in Israel. She will tell me like I am a clueless pre-teen and then if I calmly remind her I read the news, she will tell me exactly what I am supposed to think. She will tell me that 12 times because she is losing it. If I change the topic she will chastise me like I am a rude child. Fun times![/quote]
