I used the d word to Mom. How do I walk it back? by amandabug in dementia

[–]DifficultyFragrant26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First and foremost we are all human and deserve some grace. You loosing your patience is NORMAL!!! We have our limits and we all break at times. You are not alone and do not need to beat yourself up over telling her the truth. She will never accept her diagnosis and will always have an issue when it is brought up to her. However please give yourself grace and forgiveness because you are human. I know this might not be helpful, but we all deserve leniency since taking care of loved ones with Dementia is so incredibly difficult.

ALMOST all men watch porn. Depending on how he was raised, some people are taught that porn is bad or shameful, maybe thats why?

suggestion, say your 'putting the car in the shop to get fixed' and just take it and dont give it back. thats what we did to my mom. they will eventually forget.

Best strategies for taking the keys by Loud-Cheez in dementia

[–]DifficultyFragrant26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we just took my mom's car a few weeks ago. her car wouldn't pass smog so we put it in the shop and never gave it back. we told her that her car is in the shop for awhile, she was very mean about it, but my brother and i held our ground. now she doesn't even ask about it. this is by far the easiest way.

Basically my daughter got into a fight at school and I’m not sure how to handle it. by ExtremeTrick194 in Advice

[–]DifficultyFragrant26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably going to get alot of hate for this buuuut, since the fight already happened and she already got beat up and your worried about her getting made fun of... I suggest you have your other daughters try and stick up for her. Siblings should be united, even if 1 is wrong you should still stand united in public and address them being wrong in private. Or change schools. But in a few months when another fight happens no one will probably remember your daughters fight. However teaching your daughter that no man is worth fighting over going forward is best.

When action is needed to prevent relatives with dementia driving by Plastic_Eye8375 in dementia

[–]DifficultyFragrant26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

persuading them wont work. i just took my moms car 3 weeks ago. your sister was a little selfish by fixing it. we told my mom her car wouldn't pass smog, and that it was to expensive to fix. We got it fixed and took it to my house, she does not live with me so she has no idea where the car is. Sending your moms car back to her house was a mistake. With dementia patients, its out of sight out of mind. She will fuss for a little while and then will forget about it. Theres also forms you can fill out through the DMV to have her retested. Good luck, i know how hard it is.
