[quote=Anonymous]My grandma was always so sweet, until she wasn’t. She’s 75 now and has been cognitively declining the last several years. She says some of the most horrible things. She complains about “too many colored people on the TV”, about how “Mexicans are ruining the US”, how she’s “sick of seeing gay and lesbian people in the streets. According to her “they should really keep that to themselves”. She believes “kids don’t have autism, they just need a beating”, she says that I don’t really have anxiety and depression “it doesn’t exist. I just overthink things”. She is also the first (and only) person to point out whenever I lose or gain weight (it fluctuates due to PCOS). I don’t know if she has just lost her filter, is losing her mind, or is becoming less tolerant. I think all of the above. [/quote]
