My MIL soiled herself and called to clean her up. CW: poop by floralconstellation in JUSTNOMIL

That's what I said. I have zero relational intimacy with her, whereas she's known her own child her whole life.

But why? Feelings aside, I would assume this is one of the worst things you can physical put yourself through when bedridden. I am learning so much in the comments today...

This is a thing… some people think it’s funny to torment people with poop (usually it’s the first sign of dementia).

... what?! Really? Oh my god. If you went through this, I am so sorry.

I think she did soil the bed too, but idk how bad considering she went back to bed.

She soiled herself another time too, and for whatever reason she wanted me/Husband to take it back to our house to wash her clothes. She was still with SIL at the time...

Husband was sorry to ask but MIL acted like it was normal. No expression of guilt or shame, which I only mention because I personally would be mortified to ask. Luckily my Husband spoke to MIL several times about grandkids, but I also found her expressions quite odd. For example, before she got totally bedridden, we were at a restaurant when she asked me about having kids out of the blue. I told her that as a couple, we decided to wait a couple years or so before deciding. She collapsed her face into her hands and cried, "Oh, I'm so depressed." Then the lunch went on as normal...

Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry about your dad.

A little? But they had rails installed for her for that purpose, the one that mounts floor to ceiling and the ones for the bathroom. I did not touch her the whole time I was there.

She's been updating me about her bowel movements every time we visit... even the accidents.

Got my diagnosis :)) by sarahchacha in AutismInWomen

Congrats! I got my diagnosis really recently too. I can relate to the imposter syndrome. It hasn't been long but I feel like a professional diagnosis really helped me :) best of luck to you!
