That's a difficult one. It's a phase to the dementia.... It will pass, but when? It seems to be different for everyone. Seems like it goes on forever! After I got my own feelings out of the way... I made it a game so she knew I was listening.... Tried to come up with "fixes", work with her, put a little humor in it and always try to direct the conversation onto a different subject.... Or turn silent and just let her talk it out.... Seriously... There is no good answer... Arguing will just anger them more, so always stay away from that. I didn't have kids so the fact that it's the grandchildren.... That is so much more difficult! Just pray they realize it's the disease talking, not grandma.... I know that is hard... Good luck! 💗

How is your mum doing now?

A friend of mine invested in a wifi camera because of a similar situation and replayed it back to her husband who kept 'stealing/hiding' her stuff.

When he saw the video he was mortified! He has COPD which can lead onto Dementia; the lack of oxygen starves the brain and kills off brain cells. He is in the throes of being seen by a memory clinic.

It's hard because it must make YOU feel like you are going mad too. Big hugs hunny from across the pond xx
