Hello,
My Mum has Vascular Dementia and Alzheimers. I am her daughter.
There has been a new development in her behaviour - she now thinks there are two of me, one evil and one good.
Yesterday I cooked her lunch, and told her that it was ready. She refused to come downstairs for it, even though I tried to persuade her that it was ready, and getting cold. My Dad took it upstairs to her, and sat with her whilst she ate.
I was still the 'evil' one until late afternoon, when suddenly I was 'good' again.
She hallucinates voices, and has conversations with them. Even though the 'good' me is in the same room, she can clearly hear the 'evil' me saying bad things about her in another room.
Occasionally she thinks there are 2 of her husband, again one evil and one good.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this splitting into two, and how you deal with it?
