hi all, hope you are all well
on monday my dad phoned to say mum was very upset, and he wanted me to pop round so i could experience what it was like when she was restless and anxious.
so i shot round and when i got there, rather than sitting calmly, she was at the back door trying to get out.
my mum hasnt said a sentence to me in two and a half years that made any sence, but clear as any thing said "i want to get out and go where i was this morning"
i just sat her down and settled her and she calmed again. i held her hand and smiled a lot and it seemed to help.
my question is, when she doesn't believe that her home is her home, and dad is her husband and my brother is her son. what do i say to her, when she is upset?
she feels that she is living in a place that is not hers, with strangers.
thanks for reading
