Does anybody else have this? Spent all morning with mum, being shouted at, argued with, criticised etc etc. Popped out to do her shopping - she didn't feel well enough to go out, still in her nightwear and so on. Came back from the supermarket an hour later, an old friend - male - has unexpectedly popped in to see her. Well.......the transformation! Mum was sparkling, flirting, giggling, totally transformed! 5 minutes after he's left, back to the verbal onslaughts, not feeling well, everything my fault.
I know everyone says that people with AD have no idea what's going on and can't be manipulative because they don't recognise what's happening, but really????? I was left totally stunned and even more hurt than before. If she can behave so very differently with me, then is there not an element of choice in that....??
