Just got off the phone with my mom. She believes my brother is stealing from her. Fuck dementia!

Trying to meet my mom where she is with her dementia. It’s so tough on those of us witnessing the loss. I try to be who she needs me to be. I listen. I give her lots of kindness and love. And I usually burst into tears after every call with her. It’s sad what her mind is doing to her.

My dad's dementia is at that "fuck, what do I do" phase.

He's loosing his capabilities but can't accept it. On paper his dementia is treatable to a degree, but in practice, it is literal a balancing act getting the shunts to work right. Normal pressure hydrocephalus.

That it is manageable means he is struggling to accept his limitations. In really unhealthy ways.

He let the dog out during a road trip, and forgot. Told my mom the dog was in the car, so they left. They back tracked after my mom noticed it was missing. Found the dog, thank goodness.

He got so angry over incorrect driving instructions he gave he got out and started walking the wrong way to the next town. Got physical.

My mom is basically in denial for how bad it has gotten.
