Aaaagh - what's going on...? Mother hasn't been diagnosed but has had a 'crisis' since Christmas....acting strangely, called the Police out for nothing, changed the locks and accused me of stealing/sneaking in and moving things around in the house. Also made a number of other (false!) allegations about me and to me.
I'd texted her today, she was supposed to come round at 5.45pm (won't let me go there because I keep 'stealing' things ). She didn't turn up, I texted her - she replied "Gm nxt at home il be round to6rrw tho went away overnight for a change didntgnkud expect me tmight" which I am translating as "I'm not at home I'll be round tomorrow though went away overnight for a change didn't think you'd expect me tonight" (her texting has deteriorated massively over the last few months). I texted her neighbour to see if he knew she was away (he keeps an eye on things to some extent) and he replied "Yes she sent me a text this morning to say she had gone away for the night. She must have suddenly made the decision."
This is hugely out of character for her (normally can't drag herself off the sofa at night due to tiredness, aches and pains) and though I've asked where she's gone a couple of times she has avoided telling me.
I would have been overjoyed if I thought she was just suddenly finding her independence and 'doing stuff' - but in light of how she's been/what's been happening the last few weeks I am worried and just don't know what to do?! Assuming she's been able to arrange it herself and go then maybe it's just okay....but then I do feel she is hugely vulnerable....but the GP seemed to think there was 'no problem'....has anyone got any ideas as I'm a little lost
She must have booked it and driven there herself - but as she is still going on about being 'sad' that I thought it was okay to steal stuff from her/move it around then I know she is still paranoid/delusional and that is not 'normal' for her.
Any ideas or thoughts welcome!!
Many thanks.
