[quote=Anonymous]I agree with others that this a huge red flag for dementia, especially if dementia is in the family. The angry outbursts and accusations are part of dementia itself but it's also common for people realizing they may be in the early stages to react this way a sort of denial. If she hasn't already she will project onto you and others any mistakes she makes or concerns she has. Example she didn't forget grandkids recital you never told her. Details you clearly remember happening will change and you will be the one remembering the story or the tradition wrong. She'll become more inappropriate as the illness caused her to lose inhibitions. A snappy comeback won't work. You need to start working out care and support for yourself and for her. As for your mom you address it as you are always on her side and that's why you have these concerns and would like for her to talk to her doctor. Lots of online resources on how to conduct the conversation.[/quote]
