Hi, Mum had the 90 min memory test back at end of Jan and we are still waiting the results but no doubt in my mind that she is mid or late stage as displaying every symptom, some of which have got much worse in last 3 months. In this time she has now started calling me multiple times during the day, hysterical, saying she wants to die, kill herself or my dad will harm her (he won’t). How do I handle these calls? Should I just ignore them and put it down to another symptom of dementia? (She has been on anti depressants/anxiety meds for years). She lives with my dad who basically ignores her. I’m a 6 hour round trip away so with work/my own fam commitments/ cost and various train strikes etc, am only able to get over once or twice a week. I do have a brother who is 30 mins away from her but he won’t communicate with me at all saying I have an agenda and he doesn’t trust me, yet all I want is the best for her. There are no POAs in place as father and brother said they weren’t needed when I suggested these a couple of years back. Mum has only state pension and small amount of savings. Not on house deeds or joint bank ac. Father has said he won’t pay for care for her but I do know that my brother has applied for AA (but worried that those monies could end up paying for general household bills rather than her care). I just don’t know what to do. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thank u.
