I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. It's really tough seeing someone you care for start to slip away. Have you guys gotten her to be evaluated for treatment?
Not yet. We can't force her to go although she has said of herself she is "starting to lose it." My two siblings there are are not promoting it. I am, my other siblings know, but I haven't said anything directly to my mother yet.
I expect this testing will be decided on soon. I'll be writing a summary of events involving Mom to my four siblings so we can decide how to encourage Mom next. I'm the only one who hadn't seen her since last year, so they were waiting for my assessment.
Thank you for your kind words. I know you'll give me a comforting hug if I ask, and I am, so thank you in advance.
Mom's not having issues with paying bills yet, although she s very specific about how she does it. My youngest sister will help with that,but mostly right now my sister has been the designated authority for issues with the government and explaining changes to Mom about her income as Dad has been gone long enough that she's no longer getting his portion of various government income.
I have always been indifferent about the inheritance. It's my sister L's bullying and grasping nature that both makes me want to call her out as a hypocrite and tell her to step off her controlling attitude.
I'm still wound and wounded over this. Thank you for being here. I'll be in direct contact.
An extremely good asset in these parts is allanh, who has, in typical geek fashion, become an expert in dementia and dealing with a mother thus afflicted. He has a good list of principles to use when forgetfulness, confusion, and anger consume more and more of the relationship.
As for the sister, well, I'm an only child. So I'll just sit here quietly with my hands in my lap.
I contacted Allan before on G+, mentioning you and Steve and wishing him well on his recovery. He didn't respond, but that's okay since he doesn't know me at all. In his public posts here, his list of principles is the near the top of his recent public entries. I've bookmarked it and commented, mentioning that you sent me.
Thank you, sweet, sweet Jason ::hugs::
(If you wouldn't mind, pop over to G+ and see a post I sent to you and a very few others about another issue I have. This has been a brutal week for news...)

Are you in a position to be indifferent to the inheritance?
And if you want to talk about crazy-mom stuff I'm there for you...
