Just wanting to have a rant and vent my feelings!!!
Been to see mum today ..I go three or sometimes four times a week as she has no other visitors. .I'm an only child and my daughter lives fifty or so miles away.
She has been in the home since beginning of January 2019 following a months stay in hospital.
Some visits are good but more often they are awful. Today she has continually gone on and on and on about wanting to go home/what an awful daughter I am for not looking after her/that I can't because of "Daa..vid"/that her husband was in the Royal Navy and not in the boy scouts (bum boys! !!!). She was referring to my husband in that remark!!!!! She said she is going to make a will and that I won't get anything!!!!! She gives me "the look" and asks who cuts my hair...the barber? ??
Yes, some people would say it's the dementia but she obviously has these thoughts in her head. Why is she so nasty. Why can't she accept that she is 93 and that I'm (at nearly 73 ) too old to be looking after someone 24 hourly
I try and let her caustic remarks go over my head ...sometimes feeling sad for her then guilty then angry!!!
Hey ho, here's hoping for a better visit next time!!
Rant over...thanks for listening.
