Mom has Alz/Dementia/biopolar and has become verbally abusive to me (not the Assisted Living staff - thank goodness) and increasingly delusional. Have had to "back off" from visiting her so much for my own sanity. However she calls constantly. Any suggestions to get the calling to stop? I have stopped answering the calls but it is getting really "wearing"!
Your "not answering" is probably the best thing you can do.
I was quite ill for months.. Drastic action but I had no choice. It was her or me and had I not taken action I doubt I would be alive today. Even now I rarely feel 100% well. Stress does terrible things to you.
