She knows my name but can't make the connection with how we're related. She thinks she has a son with my exact name. Even now she repeats back my name, says she has a son with my exact same name. Anyone experience something similar?
Sounds like she's not just having recall issues but her reasoning skills are impacted too now. She can't make inferences.
I am so sorry. Hard to go through for sure.
Often elders will try to pretend they know who you are long after they have really ceased to know; they sense something is wrong and they "should know" and thus they pretend that they do.
