I didn't get to record all of it, but I heard more that I care to hear or know. She said some horrible things about me and I'm deeply hurt. I want to confront her.
I really had no idea that she had such a low opinion of me. She made some terrible threats, and if she were to carry any of them out she could ruin me and my family. She lives next door, and had called me that she misplaced her keys. When she hung up, she didn't hang the phone up all of the way and I could hear her ranting. It's everyone's nightmare to realize someone you love hates you so much. Please don't tell me it's the disease talking. She was talking perfectly clear.
Hugs. This sucks. We can't fix it, but we can sit here and hate it with you.
You heard your mother say very hurtful things about you. That doesn't mean those are her true feelings or that she has always secretly felt this way. It is the disease.
Learning more about dementia might help you weather these storms. My mantra became, "It is not my husband saying these things. It is the disease."
How are you doing? The first time my mom became belligerent with someone I called the police to let them know about mom's condition. In case that happens again at least the cops should be aware of your mothers condition.
