Hi
Any experience of this one?
Sure this may be a 'classic' dementia syndrome, so sorry as I'm a new post, but I am struggling how to deal with it.
Mum (at home with carer support for 12 hours a day) no longer recognises the home she has had for 27 years and thinks the family has sold her real home and dumped her. She is very angry with us and wants the police in and for us to go to jail for stealing her money (from selling her house). I understand that normally we should not question her reality, but as she thinks someone is going to send her out of where she lives now, have been trying to reassure her that 'this place' is hers. But this is not working, she's very angry, any ideas how to diffuse?
We are "pathetic and simple minded" daughters apparently, but I understand this is part of it
Thank you so much for your time
"Daisy"
