How did you deal with your aging parent that has grown to be SO rude? [I Have Aging Parents]

Mood swings, cutting off other people, inconsiderate, constantly complaining. I love my dad, but this shit is getting old!!! He was never like this before.

What did he do?
@Iwillwait he just yells at everybody all the time. If he’s not yelling at you, then he’s complaining about something you’re doing, and if it’s not that then he’s questioning everything you do. When you try and speak calmly with him he cuts you off and when you say something like, “sorry I wasn’t finished”, he’ll interject with, “no you let ME finish”. It’s just too much attitude and energy to deal with for nothing. I don’t understand why he’s like this now. He used to be the most level headed guy in our family.

@DecafD is he suffering from dementia?
@Iwillwait that’s what I was thinking as well! I’m waiting to hear back from his neurologist to see what he thinks.

@DecafD I am sorry you're having to endure through that.
@Iwillwait thank you! I’m glad I get to vent and hash things out with all you nice people on SW.
