[QUOTE="nlj, post: 670179, member: 17650"] My mother is now 84. She has signs of early dementia and is often confused (although still capable of nastiness). One of the most noticeable things is that she has always had 2 personas, the one for me and my brother and the one for other people. We have noticed exactly the same as you, that she is no longer able to maintain the facade and the truth is coming out in dribs and drabs. In particular, her man friend often says to me about particular characteristics that she is now showing to him, things he's never experienced before, and I have to say that she's had those characteristics for the past 50 years or more (that I can remember) but has never shown them to him. She's now no longer able to maintain the dual personalities. So the side of her that my brother and I have seen is presumably the true one and the other one is now too hard for her to conjure up. I don't love my mother, so I am able to watch this and be fascinated by it, without being upset by it. [/QUOTE]
