My mum has had Alzheimers for nearly 15 years - she's over 90 now and in a CH. A few months ago she stopped recognising me and my two siblings. She gets very confused when I mention I am her daughter and repeatedly says 'How do you know you're my daughter?', 'It CAN'T be'. When I saw her this week, I was particularly upset and wasn't able to stay with her for long (even thought I'd driven over 3 hours to see her).
I'm now wondering if it's best to pretend I am just another carer or a friend? The most I can do now is give her a few hugs and kisses, which always go down well. Any thoughts?
