How do I get my Mother’s twin sister to understand that her sister can’t do things she used to love to do. My Mother used to write to her sister all the time (sister lives in California) and we live in Canada. My Aunt doesn’t seem to believe me that my mother has no capability to write anymore. My Mother at times thinks I’m her sister, so when I say would you like to write a letter she wonders why would I do that when you are here? I know the fact that my Mother is not writing back to her sister upsets my Aunt, but I’m tired of trying to explain the same thing over again all the time.
I agree with Geaton........it is a distinct possibility that your aunt is ALSO going down the same dementia road your mom is on since she cannot comprehend what you keep telling her.
Best of luck!
