Always give bad advice.

No one follows advice anymore, and if they do follow it they deserve everything that happens to them.

Dunno what to say except that this appears to be very similar to what my wife is experiencing right now. Dad out of it, Mom demanding bi-ch from hell.

I don’t have an answer, only empathy.

I hope that you don’t read any comments people will post on here.

My mother is down right mean to everyone. She has to continually test our love. She is absolutely brutal with my Dad and he waits on her hand and foot. I know what you are going through.

My advice is don’t hold back. Be honest with what you say. Your mom will run over everyone if you don’t stand your ground.

My mistake was trying to stay above it all and let mom do and say whatever she wanted. I should have shut her down years ago and maybe Dad would have been treated better. No one in our family ever confronted my mom when she acted bad. Her grandchildren avoid her like the plague and she blames her sons and daughters-in-law for it.

Good luck. Turn off your computer because a whole bunch of self-righteous people are going to slam you hard.

Just remember those people are your parents and
all they have sacrificed for you.

I am not offering advice, only encouragement and prayers.

My own mother was well over 60 when my 92 year old grandmother had gotten dementia. Near the end it was like having a 160 pound baby who liked to sing Polish songs at 2AM ... badly.

It was seven years of sacrifice for her. Now she has passed on for about five years now, and I know theer are no regrets that she did the right thing.

P.S. This is not advice, but she did sell grandma’s house and got her moved against her wishes. No regrets there, either.

I'm glad to hear the situation didn't evolve into anything worse.

No advice, just prayers and a good luck wish.

Sorry for the cross you must bear.

Your mom needs to understand she endangered herself by getting in the fray. She out herself physically at risk.

Sometimes we have to parent the parent.

Time for boundaries to be set, understood and adhered to—for Mom when she is by your house.

Dad is just trying to understand what is going on around him.

You are all in a tough situation.

From here, I am doing what I can-—praying for you and yours.

I don’t know your mom but I know a woman who fits that description. My advice would beb o get a big bucket from the colonel with the gravy, give it to her and invite the wolf dog back.

Maybe not

What an awful scene!

Gotta make sure your dog never gets loose, not even for a second. That's the only thing you can control. You have to react to the rest as best as you can.

Good thing God loves us so much.

Likewise no scold from this guy. I’ve been there/have the scars to prove it. Love them as best you can, while you still can.

Prayers.

My wife has dementia. She was diagnosed in May and is now in a nursing home.

Up to the time her illness was discovered, I was planning to divorce attributing her behavior to character, attitude or whatever. Once we found out there was a real pathology possibly causing it all, I put all hostility behind.

If they are going to stay with you get an ipod, put the ear plugs in, turn up the volume and do what you have to do. Learn to tune out and ignore the demands of an elderly person who is losing their sense of judgement.

Otherwise think about assisted living if they have the money.
