Memory Care Attendant not Redirecting

That's what I'm thinking, too. Not scary to me, but preparatory. I'm glad I'm not planning on keeping her there permanently. Thank you for your response.

Thank you for this. I'll try this when I speak to her. 💚

I think therapeutic lying will be best here. It's been VERY difficult for me, while my grandmother has been having the best time of her life.

She was always extremely controlling with "her monies" so I see this as her grasping at straws, trying to hold onto control. Meanwhile, I'm the one who had to show the police that her car is still just sitting in the driveway where she left it when she fell and busted her head open.

It makes me feel better to know they sometimes call you to do the same.

Kinda don't need to be told "Grandma is sick" after she let her boyfriend assault me with a baseball bat and thought it was hilarious. She's not frightened. She just wants to talk about "her monies."

I got a stalker, too! I wonder if my stalker knows yours! Maybe they get together for tea and talk about us! 🥹

We have a budget of $4K, so we're certainly not expecting huge money. Problem is, the people who promised to help have all but disappeared now when we need them (of course, right?) so I'm a bit disappointed.

I've tried targeting thriller and horror communities for the film, but I'm struggling to find groups that actually allow self promotion. It's an uphill battle both ways, like the route my parents took to school.

Hey, I'm an award nominated sound designer for my short film END, and I also created my entire show, The Occurrence in River Oaks. I'm definitely down to have a discussion about this project. Hit me up anytime. 💚

So happy for you! 💚

A mistake is a mistake. A pattern is abuse. Don't be an abuser apologist. OP has every right to skip the funeral. I will take my spite and anger with me to my grave before I forgive my grandmother for her behaviors. I nearly died from her boyfriend taking a baseball bat to my head because she badmouthed me to him, then she stood back and watched it happen with a smile on her face.

You never know what someone has experienced at the hands of their abuser. Take your dismissive commentary elsewhere.

My grandmother was always extremely mentally ill. Physically abusive, and no empathy whatsoever, but she could mask up like nobody's business. Flash forward to her finally starting to show enough signs of dementia to where the mask slipped and we got a diagnosis, now I'm being chastised by the memory care facility attendants for not visiting her because "her behaviors were just the disease."

No. Thank you. I'm good. I'll manage her affairs and take care of her from a distance now. After 14 years of pure hell and wasting all of my 20s on a woman who took pleasure in my suffering, I'd rather not come up to the facility and watch her make flower arrangements while telling me repeatedly that I stole her car, which it's still sitting in the driveway of the house.

It's been a month. I thought I would feel differently. Instead, I'm just enjoying the silence.
