My mom with her Alzheimer is becoming more and more stubborn. I know she is trying to hold on to her independence and it is frustrating for her to not be able to think and do as she used to. I am afraid she is going to hurt herself. She insists on wearing the clothes that she wants which are usually inappropriate weather wise. When we try to coax her into weather appropriate wear she gets angry and insists that she knows what she is doing. If it is not dramatic I usually
leave her alone, now that the weather is getting warmer if she is a little too hot it's okay. In the winter I took all the summer close to my house that I could find, but she always manage to dig up something. She lives with my step-father, but he is always out.I am her only daugter so I don't have much say unless I go to court. My steepfather is trying to take care of her, but even I have to admit she is a handful. She hasn't left the house to go out by herself since last year when she was lost for a day and a half and the whole county was looking for her, but I am sure that will occur at some point.She talks of meeting me on North Broadway for church so I won't have to go all the way to her house to pick her up for church. This makes me nervous. No need trying to talk any sense into my stepfather. he doesn't seem to get the whole picture and he too insists on doing what he wants to do.
