[QUOTE="jeffreyryan, post: 764762, member: 33044"] Hi, My mum has not yet been diagnosed (she still has high scores on memory tests) but last few months she has been adamant that I am stealing from her. It's silly things like a soup pot, an extension cable, tea towels, soap, etc (last night it was 6 toilet rolls) (we have found everything she has misplaced) but she is being quite vicious with the words she is using - last night after two lovely phone calls she called me back and called me a thieving little :censored2:' (for the toilet rolls) and she then sent me some horrible texts - and as much as I understand this is the illness talking and not to take it personally I am finding it difficult to know how to handle the situation. I try reasoning but it doesn't work she just keeps saying horrible nasty things and I feel all I can do is either hang up the phone or leave if I am at her house. I have given her my keys back as some kind of reassurance for her (my brother and cousins have set and they live nearer so no problem if any emergencies and it is only temporary) but of course, she forgets this. Can anyone help with the best way to handle these situations when they arise? It's so upsetting to hear my mum think/say these things because obviously to her, it's her reality...my heart is breaking thinking that she has moments thinking her daughter is stealing from her.
