Blame Game
Comments

Sorry but for me the answer is yes. A person with dementia is loosing so much, but are unable to realize it’s not you taking it away it’s the dementia. They are angry and want someone to blame. My mom even blamed me for a stain on the carpet in her home. If I say the sky is blue she says it pink, I am never right and have on idea what I’m talking about. Correcting them will only make it worse. I’m not a person who likes to be wrong (haha). I find it demoralizing to always be wrong. I try to remind myself it’s the dementia, but it’s hard.

Yes. I am evil and have all the power now.
I left my children in a bar to run off with a bartender. I sold dad's house for $360K because I never liked it. I made the wine spill on dad's face when he tried to drink it lying down. And my favorite, I moved the streets and replaced all the buildings with new ones when he got lost once.
