Mother In Law Had a Major Meltdown Yesterday

Tweet

Sorry I wasn't here much on myLot yesterday but we had two issues come up with mother in law. First, about 11 am the Memory Care Facility called us to say MIL reported her iPhone stolen, then they called back 10 minutes later to say she had hidden it under her underwear in her nightstand drawer. They said we needed to mitigate the situation of her accusations of theft by taking away her phone and SmartWatch, which are too expensive to have in a group home setting. We agreed to take away her phone not only because of that but also because she really no longer knows how to use it and it agitates her greatly. So we made a surprise visit to the Memory Care Facility and gave her pink landline phone and she gave up the watch and iPhone without any issues. Until 5 hours later. All hell broke loose. She can't figure out how to use the new landline phone (hence the problem) and used the phone at the nursing station to call my husband (her son) to demand her phone back. He said no and explained why. She said she was calling the police on him and she no longer had a son and he was to never call her or some see her again. I'll update you in another post as to what happened this morning.
