Only child taking care of Mom for 7 years. Upon an admission she spit in my face in front of two nurses. Please advise.She is due to be discharged from hospital after dying 3x last month and coming back. I have been advised to bring her home with Hospice. She was admitted for A-fib. What say Ye??? Thank you and blessings....
jeannegibbs is right - your mom's spitting in your face has to do with pain, fear, dementia, delusions or hallucinations. Forgive her. It's just very unfortunate, but not unusual.
I don't know anything about your mother's impairments, but often these spit-in-your-face kinds of behavior come from pain, dementia, delusions, and not from the person's true personality. Forgive her and let yourself heal.
