A long and sorry saga. My mother was in a nursing home for 3 years, any time of the year she thought Christmas was just around the corner. Those people had a nerve giving their opinions when they weren't there, complaining while happy to let someone else do the hard yards.

Took care of my mother after a stroke in house for three years untill she passed at 90. No dementia, but a lot of work. Worth it, though. Lots of good memories, she couldn't talk! She finally had to listen to me. Anyways, Phil, you did a commendable job. The ones with the biggest heart in the family usually get stuck with the sole responsibility of taking care of aging relatives. And, I might add, I am a Ma resident.

I am a divorced 60 year old woman, wish I could have lived with my Mum again. My Mum is in a care home with dementia, same thing, every time I visited she said weird things, would space out, make numerous strange phonecalls and only myself and another sister were noticing. My Mum once rang and accused me of stealing her will. I picked up my sister, we drove to Mum's, and showed her where her will was. She just looked confused. Now she is in a care home and doesn't even remember when we visit. The accusations of theft are very common.

Funny thing with my Dad was i knew he had dementia since about the time his wife died in 2016. But if he was ever diagnosed with it he never told me or anyone else. It became very apparant around 2019 or 2020. And by may this year after he had the stroke, he was in the hospital and the doctors said if he survives, he can never go home, he must br put in a nursing home. And that by dads initial combative stuff when he got to hospital was a clear sign he had dementia and it was bad. Hell i knew it for years, and many times tried to get my dad to let me have a nurse visit, or go to a retirement home, no he refused. Funny thing is this past christmas, my dad was in a bad mood, refused to let me put up decorations, and he is mad at me. He says" you asked me if i plan on living forever" and that was in a conversation some time earlier in the year, telling him hey, spend some of your money on you and enjoy life.... But he took it as i predicted his death. I said Dad, we all die, i will die to, but you are taking what i said out of context.. He says," well i think this might be my last christmas. " He was grump the 4 days i was there. I could go on and on.

@@DonFonzarelli-uq9yx Even though blatantly obvious to myself and my sister (other two sisters and stepdad were in complete denial) that our Mum was going downhill fast, my stepdad and Mum refused home care, after a couple of medical emergencies (falls), Mum eventually had "The Fall" and never went back to her home. Mum spent months in hospital then went into aged care because my stepdad was in no position to care for her. My stepdad is now going the same way and refusing any help. My younger sister said she got a paniced call from him because he withdrew $2000 from bank then promptly lost it. He rang me to accuse me of stealing some coins from a drawer and I hadn't even been to his house. He also locks himself out of the house and then we get calls from neighbours to let him in. Unfortunately he won't listen as he obviously does not see a problem, so we are all just waiting for him to have "The Fall". I might add he likes to climb trees, and I once turned up to find him sitting on the roof of the house!!! He is in his mid 80s.

I know a guy several states away from his home that had his dream job. He had a family and was an only child. Due to their declining mental health. He was forced to quit his job and move back to take care of his parents. He did all that only for his daddy to become abusive to him. Even would call him bad names he did the right thing but very sad

Wow. I see both sides between you and your cousin. Bottom line. Unless there was some obvious health problem with your mother he should left it alone. I listened to this start to finish
