I don't see any benefit to anybody involved in telling her at this point. The pictures are a good idea, if she's curious about the other man in the picture, you can say he's a good friend and you won't be lying. Chances are she will forget within the day. No point in upsetting an elderly person. The one I'm involved with gets really frightening when he's upset, so my husband and I have become experts at diffusing him. Good luck with your situation.

I must say that telling grandma with dimentia that her grandson is gay is not the problem, what will it help, if she is anything like my mother who has been diagnosed in March 2015 with Alzheimer/dimentia, she would not truly understand her part of the brain that reasons is gone. So what point would it be, it is not important for her to know she loves him anyway. Sincerely, Roseofsharon
