[quote=Anonymous]Oh yeah, I experience this all the time with my cognitively impaired parents. Nearly every other statement they make is “wrong” but it’s usually about inconsequential matters. For example, what they did or ate yesterday or what the weather was like, how long they’ve lived in their apartment, when they last fell or were sick, etc. To a stranger they sound perfectly competent, but I know they’re literally making stuff up (not on purpose of course). I joke with DH that they’re always gaslighting me. I only correct them on major things (“Dad, Uncle Tom died 10 years ago so it must have been someone else you had lunch with yesterday”) It’s hard to see your parents become vulnerable.[/quote]
