My mother has become extremely petulant. If she does not get 100 percent of my attention, she tries everything from rummaging in closets to saying she is sick, she has been home the past two days from Adult Center because she said she was not feeling well, but she is fine, a bit of gas perhaps, but other than that she is incredibly nastier than usual. She is doing very strange things but it is put on, she pretends to sleep and when she thinks I am gone will peek out for me, she will run down the hall if she sees me. This is the wacko behavior that I worry about since she said to me the other day if I don't sit with her she will tell them at Adult Center I am not feeding her. I am so done with all of this, stick a fork in me.
I have seen my Mom pull some odd behaviors that honestly made me wonder if she was really ill or just putting on. What I came to realize it that the odd behavior is all part of the disease. What does worry me is when they begin to threaten you that "If you don't do this.....I am going to tell whomever...you are not feeding me or being nice to me etc. That would be horrible to have happen and what is worse is she could cause so many problems potentially for you if anyone believed what she said. To her it is a game, like a child plays but it could have horrible consequences.
You really need a break Madeaa. I can't even say to you...talk to her, because if she is like my Mom, she will not remember what you said in 15 minutes. If there is ANY possible way of leaving for a time to relax, please do it.
Go Bless You!
