My mother has become very aggressive with several people over the past few months, particularly the scheme manager in the block of flats where she lives. She accuses her of stealing things and moving things around in her flat. Needless to say the manager isn't doing these things and is thankfully very patient with mum. It is becoming very difficult as mum is telling the other occupants of the flats what she believes is happening and people are getting upset with her.
I have tried talking, reasoning (which is really pointless as there is no logic left in her) with her in as many ways I can think of to try and stop her, but she becomes very aggressive about it all. She has also turned against her close friend in the flats who is, naturally , also very upset though I guess there is nothing I can do about that.
Mum won't even talk about moving to a care home and she isn't really at the point physically where she needs that as she cares for herself okay.
Has anyone any ideas of how to cope with this? It is becoming quite a big problem.
