[quote=Anonymous]I went through this for many years and had a therapist helping me use strategies with her. Our issue was she kept going off meds for the anxiety and rage when she felt she was fine. Things have gotten worse. We have someone professionally managing care. The abuse was taking it's toll on me and my family. My mother refuses to be in residential, but my aunt-also highly abusive with age, is well medicated at her AL and it has made all the difference. They hired an aide as well and no longer have a revolving door due to people quitting. It's also easier to visit. Yes, she seems very medicated, but she can engage without emotional and verbal abuse and have a relationship with her grandchildren and children so it's worth it.[/quote]
