[QUOTE="Left Hand Dave, post: 2742274, member: 94260"] I think part of it is as you get older you help take care of your older family members. Watching dementia progress and trying to figure out how to deal with it makes us more sensitive to things we wouldn’t have worried about when we were younger. I remember thinking I needed to try and keep my aunt and uncle grounded so I would correct their confused thoughts. I eventually learned all that did was make the mad because what they remembered or saw was real to them. I learned to go with the story or hallucination and find an answer they were ok with. Now when I forget things it scares me to death. In reality I think it’s over reacting to things I can’t forget. [/QUOTE]
