[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry for what happened to you and think it is very reasonable for you not to provide direct care and for you to insist your mother be honest in acknowledging the details and difficulties of the situation. I also think that when you discuss this with others, it is important to acknowledge that this is a very unusual situation. Yes, people who exhibit full blown dementia in their 80s and 90s may show subtle signs of that dementia many years earlier, but that does not mean they are violent. It may mean that they no longer can follow the intricacies of a complicated novel’s plot or have difficulty visualizing a city’s geography. You suffered something very disturbing with your father. I am wondering if you should explore this with a therapist.[/quote]
