    Let her take care of her for awhile and see how she feels after that. I know it is not easy as my husband has the dementsia also. and he can be so good some times and so bad others and low and behold he is usually good when other people see him. He tries to do things that are not logical. He forgets that I am coming to have supper with him. by the time I get there he has already eaten. we do need to be loving and forgiving to all. I know at times it can be hard. Take care and have a good day from Addymay

    Thank you Addymay. My mother has tried to hit me and toldme to go to hHell more than once. I am totally forgiving to Mom. The other night when my sister came to get her so she would miss that very important appointment with the Geriatrician, My sister was pointing her cane at me and mother was pointing her finger at me, both in my face. I got a lot of hurtful feelings off my chest to my sister and sister-in-law who are very hateful to me and causing Mom untold stress. I find it very hard to forgive them for what they are doing to my mother. I don't think Mom is the issue to them I think it is a Power struggle. My sister hates me referringto myself as Mom's caregiver but I am because she lives me and I am the one with her the majority of time. The last blow up we had with the blamimg and accusations I told my sister and brother I will not be responsible for and thought she was going to takeover but Mom l;anded home two days later. My sister will never give in tome or anybody else how hard it is to take care of her.

    Thank you Addymay. My main concern here is my mother and I will have to ignore all other outside influences.
