[quote=Anonymous]My mom has dementia and comes to visit for long periods. I am grateful she can still travel. However it’s hard when she’s here. I want to enjoy my time with her but she suffocates me. She always says she’s so lonely, which isn’t true. She follows my every step inside the house , and wants to join me whenever I leave the house (I work from home). I need some alone time in my life, and she can’t be alone for just a few moments. I can reason with her - it was difficult before but the guilt tripping and infantile tantrums have only increased since her diagnosis. I m slowly seeing my relationship being poisoned, and I want to be able to enjoy the time I have left with her. How can I manage to do that? Please don’t give advice like hiring someone. She only wants me while I am here and I don’t feel obligated to spend money on an aide, and she is too stingy.[/quote]
