My mom is 82 years old with progressive Dementia. For over a year, my brother has ignored her. He has extracurricular issues. She talks and called him nonstop which drove my siblings and I crazy. She gets aggressive when he doesn't reach out. We try excuses that he is busy or we left a message, but nothing. We tried caring for her, but now she is going into Memory Care after skilled rehab from several falls. She says she wants to go home where she and my brother lived. It's all heartbreaking.
I am with brother. My family knew not to call me at work unless an emergency.
