It seems hard to believe but.....
My mom has dementia. The unfiltered stuff that comes out of her mouth is head shaking. The residents avoid her, she calls people fat whales, etc. It’s so bad, we have to move her to a memory care facility of some kind.
So, I can believe he said this. He probably doesn’t remember.
God Bless your mom and your family
