I just need to moan.
At present we are struggling with mum at home. She does not appear to want to eat anything and won't let us help her with her meals. She always says she will sort herself out but unfortunately cannot.
She is still in the denial stage but is getting more and more argumentative.
She is constantly shouting at me and actually went to hit me last week, because she thinks I am stealing everythiong from her, including clothes, cutlery ornaments plates, food, and money. She thinks I am taking them to give to me daughter in law and I do not know where she gets her ideas from. I know I should not take her on and I know I should ignore what she says, but I am really struggling with this. I am constantly in tears and as much as I try to help her, she just will not let me and I just seem to annoy her just being there. As soon as I walk in she turns her back and looks at the wall and ignores me other than to ask me what I have come to steal next.
Also if I go with my brand new granddaughter of 13 weeks old, she just looks in disgust and says "what have your brought her for" and it really really upsets me. I know mum would NEVER havebeen like this before she was ill, and would have adored her first great grandaughter, but this is just so hard to bear and I am really struggling with it.
I go home every night in tears and am not sleeping as it is constantly onmy mind.
Sorry for moaning just needed to get this off my chest.
