[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First off, so far our experience is it gets worse and more crazy with age. [/quote] Same! Mine recently stopped drinking due to a health change/med, the hospital/physio rehab allowed her to dry out, and I don't know if the former heavy drinking had kind of tamped down some of the crazy/was a sedative or what, but it is so much worse now. Maybe it is early dementia combined with mental illness, not sure. But many in the family have commented that they don't recall her being quite this crazy or it being so intense, in the past. The negativity, gaslighting, smear campaigns, etc, are all that is left. Can't even have brief convos about food or weather anymore. I suspect she knows she is slipping and that is ramping up the anxiety and need to control. The people in her life who still interact with her seem to have agendas, for the most part, or like to stir the pot themselves and rile her up. [/quote]
