Mother-in-law is telling the other son and his wife different tales about her experience at Memory Care than she's telling us.
We called to verify her stories with the staff at Memory Care and none of them were true.
She's just confused and has the terrible disease of Alzheimer's.
But the other son is worried about her and whether or not she's bitter at him for being in the facility, etc.
So tonight my hubby is going to explain, once again, that her tales of woe are to be expected and that the Memory Care facility carefully documents everything that goes on and it's just going to be good days and bad days for her for the rest of her life.

She’ll get to the point where she doesn’t remember being bitter. This disease just ups any of her faults to a huge degree. And, you told us a long time ago she was a manipulator. I hope you can get through to him. Of course, he could always let her move in with him, and then he’d find out what real hell is like.

Exactly! I don't appreciate the criticism after all my husband and I have done to find her a safe place with excellent care.

I hope he listens to you when you explain everything that is going on. Sounds like he's in total denial that his mom is as bad as she is.

After being around my older sister a few times when she was having bad days, I don't envy you trying to get the other brother to believe you... If he believes he could do a better job taking care of her, let him try. He'll find out soon enough the problem is her, not the facility you've found for her.

There is always going to be a bit of guilt for a while when you have to put someone into care because of their mental condition. Hopefully your BIL will be reassured by the phone call.

No wonder the guy in the photo is all smiles.
Only joking
Good luck with the meeting via the telephone
