[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all for the empathic feedback. I did speak to my mother on the phone today and she is in what sounds like abject denial about my father’s dementia. I did warn her that I am withdrawing all support as long as they are making baseless accusations against me due to their extreme paranoia and delusions about events. I also warned her that I could not see her in person until she is honest about their medical problems and stop the paranoid threats. She has the ability to reach out for professional help but hasn’t hit rock bottom yet so I can’t insist that she seek help. I’ve been to therapy for a long enough time that these phone conversations no longer drain me like they used to.[/quote] She's hit rock bottom and is overwhelmed and scared. Part of dementia is this behavior. [/quote]
