Mom with dementia upset about move
Comments (66)My mom has had Dementia for a while and she moved from an apartment to a room and board where she wasn’t taking her meds, never changing clothes, showering etc and had a small dog that she loved but was neglected and she would forget to feed etc. i ended up going to take care of her once a week, give her a bath, change her clothes, clean her room and take care of her dog. the Dementia grew worse. She would call the police 3-4 times a day, accused me of stealing from her and that the ppl at her room and board were poisoning her. They finally kicked her out and after I had been looking for months to find a semi-affordable assisted living/memory care facility that I will have to help pay for due to her limited funds, I was able to move her there and had to tell her the dog would join her another day because she said she wanted to live in the street with her dog. She’s not not been there a week and attempted to leave multiple times, continues to ask for her dog and leaves me awful messages that she’s gonna have me arrested, that she hates it there and that I’m dead to her. Doctors are going to increase or change her meds to assist with her anxiety. It’s been draining, and depressing- I am her only child and I have spent so much time taking care of her and all I get in return is vulgar words, messages and accusations - and all the while I am working extra to pay for her damn care while I have a family of my own and the money I pay for her is taking away from my own kids. It’s painful....it’s comforting to see others on here with similar stories of how awful loved become with Dementia.......See MoreBest site to discuss / get advice about bonsai / Jade?

Comments (107)RoseCanadian, sometimes we make mistakes but they're what we need to learn and get better at things. That's why I'm so appreciative of people on this forum, for sharing their lessons learned and helping newbies like me. I bet this next year will be an amazing year for you and your roses. You'll be able to smile and enjoy it even more knowing that it's all due to learning from these past mistakes :) Straw, I love that Neil Diamond picture! I have to find some of him that I took at a rose park here in LA. It was one of the only rose types that was doing well in the hot/dry conditions, and this park was not well taken care of. Looked kind of abandoned and the Neil Diamonds were very healthy looking. Probably a good 8 ft tall with giant blooms, I loved them. Good to know it can stay small own root in a pot. I liked the flowers on my Marc Chagall, but the bush and foliage were not as attractive as my Austins....returned him to the store. I don't know if it was the thrips when I had them or what but he wasn't doing it for me. I love your bouquet. What are the solid pink roses in it? Also Crown Princess? I got some pretty salmony pinks from mine back in NY but they were mostly the pretty orangey gold color of yours. But I liked when it played chameleon....See MoreNo discussion about song redos allowed? Updated
Comments (9)I figured out why my post never posted. Within the lyrics it mentions numerous historical events because its an update of ”We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Below are the lyrics, with one fact altered (#). I did not include the chorus, hum along. I always hoped there would be an update by Billy Joel (1989), this is by the Fall Out Boy. “Captain Planet, Arab Spring, LA riots, Rodney King, deep fakes, earthquakes, Iceland volcano, Oklahoma City bomb, Kurt Cobain, Pokémon, Tiger Woods, MySpace, Monsanto GMOs. “Harry Potter, Twilight, Michael Jackson dies, nuclear accident Fukushima, Japan, Crimean peninsula, Cambridge Analytica, Kim Jong Un, Robert Downy Jr, Iron Man. “More war in Afghanistan, Cubs go all the way again, Obama, Spielberg, explosion Lebanon, Unabomber, Bobbit, John bombing Boston marathon, Balloon boy, War on Terror, QAnon. “##### #### ######### twice, polar bears got no ice, Fyre Fest, Black Parade, Michael Phelps, Y2K, Boris Johnson, Brexit, Kanye West and Taylor Swift, Stranger Things, Tiger King, ever given Suez.
