[quote=Anonymous]OP, what a lovely approach you have and I'm sorry you're going through it. It sounds a lot like what happened to my mom and her mother as my grandma went through increasingly apparent stages of dementia. My mom, as the most capable sibling, was the one to take care of a lot of things and to visit her often. My mom was always very kind and patient with grandma, but as time went on, grandma would be very angry and rude with my mom until she got to the stage where she didn't really understand much of anything anymore. My take on it was that for as hurtful as it was, that behavior was also only ever with the person around whom she felt the safest. All best wishes to you, and I hope that you are able to find good respite help if you need it.[/quote]
