Sorry to post again as a seperate subject matter but I wondered if anybody had any tips about how to handle absolute rejection and animosity. I still have no diagnosis for mum as she won't go to the doctor but I also feel like I have no prospect of persuading her to go to the doctors either, she has evolved from a load of confusion but still calling me to today accusing me of doing her wrong and wanting her dead and this has only been in last few days culminating in her asking me to leave her alone, genuinely last week I thought that she was OK in that didn't even consider she was not well. The issue I have is that I do think that whatever is hapening with her she has firmly connected to me, she admits to being stressed but that I am the cause of the stress which in turn is making her forget things and if I'm honest I do see her point but in reality it is also me that is likely going to have to be her caregiver and me pushing for the gp to see her etc. I didn't know if anyone had any good "arms length" tactics for me to make sure that she is OK because at present she sees she has one problem but that that problem is me!
