Mom is in mid stage dementia and swears she is being beaten? Help? My Brother takes care of her and my father who had a stroke 12 years ago. Dad is completely competent but mom is delusional and says everyone yells at her all the time. Now she says my brother pushes and hits her. He would never do this, dad says not happening as well. Any suggestions on how to change the delusion to the more accurate helpful person he really is? He is getting increasingly frustrated at the accusations.
I feel sorry for your brother, having his own Mom says things like that about him, of which none of that is true.... one has to remember, Mom's brain is broken.... but it is still hurtful. I remember when my Mom said that my Dad had been hitting her, none of which was true, and I never told my Dad what Mom had said. I didn't want to hurt his feelings as he was heart broken enough that Mom was so ill.
