Dementia is brutal

Of the things my dad is delusional about the conspiracy about who the asshole in charge of rotating the earth and making it dark is, is my favourite. 🤦🏻‍♀

You have my sympathies. I went through it with both my FIL and my dad.

@BabyLonia I’m sorry and thank you

@RebelRaven
One of the last convos i had with my dad whilst he was still of sound mind was about his acceptance of the situation. It has really helped me get through some of the worst days.

I dealt with it with my mom, I know how frustrating it can be

Tell me about it...

Before my step dad died he constantly had to be reminded that he had two step daughters
My mom always reminded him that she was his wife
he would have halucinations
occasionally get angry over nothing

his death was if anything bittersweet

@AllycatAD I feel that so much, he gets angry a lot, forgot who my son is a couple times, and I think either confused me for my mom or thought I was 10 again because he got so mad when I was our with my daughter for about 7 hours back when he was a little more cognitive.
