[quote=Anonymous]I agree that moving her is absurd. It also has little to do with how irresponsible she was with money. It really makes no difference how close she is, the dementia will continue to take her further from you. Unless you've witnessed first hand the devastating effects of dementia, you have little idea of how devastating it is. My FIL had it as did my DH's uncle. The last 5 years of my DH's uncle's life, I had to avoid seeing him because every time I did, he'd go into a rage. He was convinced I had stolen his brother's car, sold all of his belongings and was stealing his money. His brother (DH's father) was dead and since DH is an only child, DH inherited everything. I was driving FIL's car because 1) he was dead and didn't need it and 2) it was better than mine (but not as nice as DH's). I also helped clean out his house (DH's childhood home). He couldn't remember his brother was dead but he sure did remember me with his brother's stuff![/quote]
