Last Night Was Another Meltdown With Mother in Law

Tweet

As you all know, my mother in law is 83 years old and has Alzheimer’s Dementia and lives in a memory care facility. She has good days and bad days. She is quite confused much of the time which makes her agitated. She’s complaining once again about someone stealing four pair of her shoes ( it didn’t happen) and many of her clothes being stolen (it didn’t happen) and that someone is stealing cookies out of her room ( she’s actually eating them). She doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with her and doesn’t want to be around “ all the crazy people” at the facility. She will complain about the food one minute and say how good it is the next. She somehow believes she’s on a one year lease where she lives and can move back to her old apartment alone in 7 months She’s both hard to deal with yet very pitiful at the same time
