So recently I ate half of a bar and threw the rest away because I woke up late and had a long hard practice. I had to go to the gym after that and my mom said I am going to cut your bars in half from now on since you only eat half. I explained why I did that and that I don't normally, but she said I had been doing it forever and she even said she remembers telling me, "Eat the whole thing or save it for later." These where my favorite bars and I would never want to only eat half of one a week you had a chance to find me eating 2. There's been stuff like this in the past where I did not have my glasses on since the doctor said I needed to wear them for an hour and she said that I did not wear them at all that week. Yesterday my dad had to fix them (my mom helped) because I was wearing them in bed and rolled over. This thing is new to me but the glasses thing she has been doing for years. She will also go out of her way to be rude to me at a family dinner after I had been so nice to her.She pretended that when I got home I was not downstairs hitting the punching bag till I could not feel my hands. She had also made fun of me and blamed me for this. I never did things my dad did and also my dad would blame me for things she did and other stuff my brother did, so this was just really annoying. My brother stopped believing me because he was never around when anything bad happened. He always makes me look like the bad guy. Sorry for not adding good grammar, it's just I am so annoyed today and it's super late. I can't sleep cause I am still thinking about all the stuff I did for her (I help a lot but she is always saying you need to help around the house more like your brother). I am not sure if this is Alzheimer’s or dementia, but I need help. This is so hard for me because ever since I lost my best friend I have been sad and then recently also lost my grandpa.

Schools out so not sure if counsellors are available.

Sorry, but this site is for Caregivers taking care of loved ones. Not that we haven't raised teens but we may not be able to give u the help you need. If you can't talk to ur parents can you talk to a parent of a friend? A pastor even if u don't attend Church. If councellors are still in school, maybe one of them.

You are all over the place with your comments/complaints/gripes/venting.
It is very hard to follow.
You don't give any information in your profile. With the way you worded your post you sound like a teen that is venting. the one thing that you do mention that might be going on...you say you lost a friend recently and you lost your grandpa. Both of these events can trigger feelings that we just have a hard time dealing with. You might want to schedule an appointment with your doctor and see about getting a referral to a therapist. Just to talk. It is possible that talking something out 1 time will help a lot, other times it takes a while.
If I am off base with this I am sorry if you can add more detail in a concise way it might help with better responses.

i think it's clear OP is indeed a teen or even younger, so some kid gloves are needed. teens and tweens feel powerless and at the mercy of their parents and can't just make an appointment with a doctor, and likely will not feel comfortable asking their parents to do so either. a school counselor could help, though, as OP is reaching out for help that we likely aren't qualified to deliver but he/she does need someone to talk to.

oh dear, i am sorry you are feeling this. it sounds like a troubled family dynamic. is there a counselor at school you could talk to? if your main question is whether we think your mom has dementia, there isn't really enough information here for us to estimate. dementia involves forgetting things but certain bad personality traits can also create situations where a person revises what happened and makes you think you're crazy for having a different idea of what happened, which is called gaslighting. but talking to a counselor will help and they can get a clearer story from you. it's hard for us to give much of an opinion without a lot more information.
