in Caring for a Parent

what actions should I take when my mom wakes at night and is screaming at me for beating her up or steeling her car? Of course I am not really doing either of these awful things. Advice please

    Welcome to the forum. Talk to her docs. There are medications for sleep that might help.

    Delusions and hallucinations are not that uncommon, I gather. You probably need to talk to her doctor about medication.
