Does anyone feel angry about caring for their aging parent?

MWD, no doubt the anger is normal. Years ago my then-husband was dx with leukemia. First I was shocked, then afraid, then sad for him. But I was shocked and amazed to discover that I was also mad as hell at him! And at God, too! How dare he not be the strong, capable, dependable husband he'd always been and that I needed him to be? I resented the heck out of it even as I knew it wasn't his fault and he couldn't help it. This is your mom. How can she turn into this stranger right before your eyes? I think anger is probably normal and natural under the circustances. Don't beat yourself up over it. Be good to yourself. This is a tough road and I wish you well. Hugs to you.

Come back with an update.

Like I said, hard to reason with them. But some members have been able to set some boundries. When she gets started, remind her you are an adult and as such you need the same respect you give her. You can't argue with them. They get something stuck in their mind and they won't let it go. When she gets started, tell her your aren't going to take it and walk away.

Hope the Nurse is a help. Just realize, there is something called "showtiming" where they can act normal. Make a list for the Nurse. It will help her evaluate Mom.

Angry, not so much but I didn't like having the responsibility. I had always been the one my parents relied on. So its not like I hadn't done for them for years.

Your Mom has Dementia. You can no longer reason with her. It takes her longer to process and comprehend. They get self centered. You are also living in "her" house. They act like small children wanting their way. They can't understand why it can't be their way.

Have you made changes to her home other than moving your stuff in. People with Dementia do not deal well with change.

You need to tell her dr that there have been changes. He maybe able to give her something.
