My mom is sick
I guess she has something called Frontotemporal dementia. It's basically sudden onset Alzheimer's.

Yesterday she didn't even realize who I was



Oh god.

I am going through this with my Dad right now. He is 87. I stayed with him over the weekend because my Mom needed a break and it was a real eye opener. Instead of visiting twice a week I plan on getting over there much more often to let her get out of the asylum

Don't freak out around her when she forgets something like who you are, it just makes her more scared of whats happening in her moments of lucidity. All you can do is just be loving. She might not know you but she understands that she knows you or loves you but doesn't understand how or why.

Look into her eyes for those moments of recognition.
This. My grandpa went the same way. Just spend as much time as you can and don’t let the little things get to you.

A good reminder for everyone with older loved ones to go see them and tell them you love them before something happens and you can't. I had an uncle that went through Alzheimer's and feel for your situation.

That’s terrible to hear... my grandmother lost her life that way. It was really rough on my dad. Just remember that any bad things you see or hear, it’s not your mom talking. She still loves you. Prayers for you and your family.

Its a proven fact, caregivers life expectancy is so much lower due to the undue stress it puts on them. Kudos to you for going over and trying to help. When my grandpa lost his mind, it was brutal, I was a teenager, and we went over there all the time to help cut grass, clean the house, wash dishes etc. He was the nicest, most polite docile man you would ever be around, very educated, never used curse words. When he lost his mind, he would curse you out so badly, and when you got close to him he would grab you or punch at you and try to choke you. It broke my parents heart, but they couldn't allow us kids to keep going over there. I remember vividly, I was 13 years old, I was trying to help feed him, he started cursing me out, and he grabbed me by the neck and pulled me into him, he started choking me and I actually passed out. My dad saved my life, guaranteed, because I am sure my grandpa would have strangled me to death. It still haunts me to this day.

One thing that always hurts my heart, is for my parents and any others in that situation. They have to explain to their children why their own parent is like that, and its crushing to them to have to deal with it, let alone try to explain it to their own kids.

Thanks everyone.

Right now i'm sleeping on a cot in the extra room used for storage. It's just too much for my dad to handle alone. We caught her wandering down the basement stairs talking about how she needed to bake a cake.

I stay up and watch her at night and sleep during the day. My dad watches her during the day.


I'm just numb, i have no idea what to do.

What are the Doctors saying? Is there medicine that will at least help a little?

Deepest sympathies Jake. I'm losing my mom right now to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, so I know exactly what you're going through.
