My Daughter, who is 21 in June and lives with her boyfriend, very kindly offered to sit with my mum yesterday. I must add that she has sat with her for an hour on several Sunday afternoons, while my partner and I go to visit his Mum.
Anyway, on our return, some 3 hours later (partners family bithday lunch out) all seemed well. My Daughter has got used to her Grandma getting 'mixed up' and can handle that. But my mum was telling her 'so convincingly' that she is treated badly, that my Daughter said if she had been a stranger she would have believed her. It upset my Daughter, as it made her think my mum was being ungrateful and tried to protect me, and managed to change the subject.
My mum seemed ok when my Daughter left and enjoyed the dinner I cooked for her, which she ate, outside, while watching my partner doing some gardening.
I must admit for a while I was hurt by what my mum had been saying to my Daughter and have to keep reminding muself it's the nature of ILLNESS.
Take Care Bye for now
