[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 411193, member: 135"] I posted on here a week or so ago about my mother and her ageing issues (She's 96) so I find all of this really interesting. I think one of the things that makes it all so hard is that they don't just wake up one day with problems. It is, in most cases, a vary gradual onset so you don't always notice for awhile. Also, I do think that as we get older, our attitudes change and we get a little more crotchety (or is it just me:winks:). Sometimes, especially at the onset of problems, it is really hard to tell if it is a mental problem or just a case of people being mad and fed up and tired of always being the nice guy. Elder abuse happens far too often but it is also true that seniors with problems perceive problems where there are none. I don't know the answers but I definitely know that dealing with the whole thing is not easy. I told difficult child#1 that when I get that stage he should take me to the vet and have me put down.
