I get the feeling she just doesn't care about my family, so it is conveniently out of mind. My sister's family on the other hand is right in the forefront. My sister tells me it's the opposite when mom is with her, but I don't know if I believe that. It is so frustrating and makes me very angry.
My Mom will be talking about people and places that I know nothing about. One time she mentioned my name along with the name Paul while sleep talking... I never knew a Paul, but my sig other quizzed me about that.... seriously? Sigh... just shows how clueless some people are about these medical issues and he refuses to read up on any of this.... [rolling eyes].

I don't blame you for the frustration. It is absolutely maddening, not to mention tedious if you do have to keep answering repetitive questions. But honestly, I promise you, she is not doing it carelessly or deliberately. That still leaves you with all the sadness of a mother who's losing her grip on her family relationships, quite bad enough, but don't allow yourself to feel slighted on top of it. Hugs.
