[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I am 4:58. We have realized that my mom is more upset by my presence and my father's presence, whereas more distant relatives or professional caregivers make her much calmer. I think it may be two things: 1) we are too familiar so it makes the magnitude of what she's lost real; and 2) we may remind her of her parents (who were abusive). Folks in later stages of dementia regress and if they had traumatic families of origin, the familiar faces are scary. [/quote] This is so interesting, as I find that my presence is either totally calming or really agitating on my mom. [/quote]
