Siblings in denial
2parents/brain change

Sorry, here again,
So anyone else experiencing vast differences between you and your siblings as parents walk their way through Dementia?
For the most part I know how to take care of myself. Still, I am astounded at how differently we perceive my father in law's needs and what is to me, common sense. My mom had her phone for a while and it was a nightmare! She is in Indiana in memory care where my sister and 2 brothers visit her frequently. for now, she is in good hands in her memory care unit.
I would try to share my experience with my husband's family, but they really don't want to hear it. They do not try to seek answers but seem to want to stay in their denial of what is really happening to their Dad and to them.
Thanks again,
J🙄
