[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Work out an agreement. You will shut up about medication if she follows a sound hydration routine and does not dehydrate.[/quote] I would not suggest this because it's a promise that may not feel right to keep. When our own mom went off medication, she wasn't just creating problems for herself, but for innocent people. Her anxiety and controlling behavior turned into rage at doctors/nurses/staff/aides/neighbors. She wasn't that way right away, but that's the direction it went-outright abusive toward others. A promise I would consider is backing off if she allows a geriatric expert to work with her. They are trained to talk to challenging elderly and help them feel safe and heard in the hopes of guiding them toward taking the right steps for their health.[/quote]
