[quote=Anonymous]I would not tell her she has dementia making her unsafe to drive-at least with our mom that would set off rage and rebellion. We were advised to use therapeutic lies as mentioned here. "You donated that car to your favorite charity" or "It's getting repaired." I would not go through the charade of returning it and taking out the battery. One well-meaning good samaritan or Triple A could create a highly unsafe situation, and you could set off rage and confusion as she tries to start the car. Just be matter of fact...with whatever you say and move on to the next subject.[/quote]
