My mother has MCI, but I think it's a polite way of saying pre dementia. She has seemed to have gone down hill faster lately and and thinks I am picking on her. She says she can't do anything right for me any more. I'm so very sad at the prospect of losing the mother I once new that I find myself crying a lot. Wondering what I'm going to do, how can I have more understanding and patience. I'm so frustrated it's gone to anger. Pls help me
Second, if you're crying alot, get yourself some respite any way you can and GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR. Depression (ours AND theirs) is treatable. Tell us more about the things that your mom thinks that you're "picking on her" about. We all work together here! Don't beat yourself up.
