This morning my mom was up early, very unusual for her. Lately she's been sleeping most of the day and up all night. After a pleasant greeting between us, I went in the kitchen, she comes in and tells me to get out of her house, I've been taking care of her for over a year, she screams at me that she can't sleep because I might slit her throat! She was in a rage. Mother is 97 with dementia/Alzheimer's not eating enough food and barely mobile. Is this normal? We're thinking of placing her in a home.
Out of control emotional outbursts, accusing loved ones of nefarious behavior is normal for Alzheimer's.
