Hi everyone, just needing to vent and get any advice and opinions please. My mum and I used to be best friends but in the last couple of years she has slowly turned on me and become a horrible person to me. At first she was a bit dismissive and then a bit too busy to talk to me as regularly as we used to and started being less social. Then she started making some condensending comments and then it got so bad that anything I said she would purposly start an argument or be vindictive towards me. She has become so aggressive it's scary, flying completely off the handle even in public and is short tempered towards customer service staff. I notice she has become a bit slower to make decisions thinking it must be a bit of old age be patient with her. Has become extremely controlling too. I know she has been up and down with anxiety and depression over the years and has always been a stresser. She drinks 2/3 glasses of wine per day and doesn't exercise and after trying to encourage her to get healthy has again lost the plot at me. She has has high blood pressure over the years also. Before I suspected anything medically wrong, thinking that she has just become a horrible person we haven't spoken in over 7 months because she won't forgive me for bringing my partner to breakfast who she said I wasn't allowed to. Do u think it is dementia and how do I even start to deal with this situation? Me even suggesting she go to the doctor will result in a massive argument. She is still so young and works part time. I miss the old mother I had who used to be my best friend
