[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The following behavior is normal for dementia. She just doesn't feel safe unless she has someone she trusts within eyesight. I think it's time you hired an aide, "feel obligated" or not. She has dementia and it is what it is.[/quote] +1. OP you need to read up on dementia asap on how to handle people with dementia. You are treating your mom in pre-dementia ways, and this will not be good for either of you. You have to meet your mom where she is, each and every time. And I’m not sure someone with dementia should be traveling independently. It took a while for it to sink in that my own mom had dementia. This sounds like where you’re at right now. This is not the same mom from when you were 10 years old—she now has serious memory issues and needs help.[/quote]
