Went to see mom at the nursing home yesterday. I don't think she knew who I was and didn't make much sense. I do think it is dementia and that tears me apart if I think about it too much.
I only go see her once a week, but wonder if that is enough?

I really miss talking to my mom on the phone. She has been in and out of either a nursing home or hospital since Christmas. She has a feeding tube in and is delusional a lot of the time. I know this is selfish, but I just miss her personality. She is not physically gone, so can I be feeling sadness for her personality. I feel guilty that she is suffering,but is still alive. Anyway, plan to see her today.
Today was a bad day. School vice principal called today and said my daughter was overheard saying something about a hit list. She was joking and did not have a list and my daughter would kill anyone.
My brother called. Mom is in a nursing home on a feeding tube and her boyfriend wants her to go home to die. Mom wants that too. He is brainwashing her and makes her believe none of her children care.
Not true. I have three brothers who live in Florida so can't visit much. I feel overwhelmed with stress.

(((((Big Hugs))))) Kylee. This is so hard and I don't have any words of wisdom. Nobody should be told that loved ones don't care about them, regardless of the situation. I will say prayers for you mother.
