Can't cope with my mom

[Dawno]

I'm at my wits end trying to cope on my own with my mom. I don't know how to deal with her anymore. She's downright nasty and accuses me of taking everything that goes missing on a daily basis

Welcome to DTP @Dawno
I think you need to contact Social Services and ask for an assessment to see what they can do to help.

Thank you I am just putting wheels in motion for help. I find it very stressful dealing with her. She has deteriorated mentally and to be honest I dont really know how to deal with it

Hello @Dawno and a warm welcome to DTP from me also
I wondered if you were aware of the factsheets and publications from the Alzheimer’s Society?

hello @Dawno
a warm welcome from me too

sadly those accusations sound all too familiar
I wonder whether this may help in having some suggestions on how to communicate with your mum

I found that not engaging and taking myself out of the situation let me calm and dad settle, for a while

Oh lovely it’s very frustrating & hurtful when you are on the end of such nastiness
It’s difficult to ignore but try to. This is part of the dementia

You can not reason with it
