Not sure quite where to put this post, but here goes:
After failing to find other living arrangements cross country Aya and I have returned home to live with parents and my other brother who is disabled. My mother was recently diagnosed with alzheimers disease. Most of teh time she forgets things and who people are. She still recognizes me most of the the time. Recently some things happened that concern me and especially since I am the only adult in this house working outside the home.
Mostly she has been gushing over the kitty since we returned. But 2 nights ago in one of her let me say "Dementia rages" she tossed my cat in my closet with my doll collection came downstairs and told me it was for revenge. Then she threatened to burn down my room if I didn't get out of the house.
On a milder note she has trouble accepting that I am in control of Aya's care.That she is not to feed her; worry about changing boxes or let her outside. Aya is still somewhat uncomfortable after the 2nd move in 2 mos. Mom has already threatened but not followed through on calling a vet to "get a second opinion".
I have put up signs on the door saying Aya is not to go out and that I am the only one feeding her. I have also removed her name from Aya's Vet file and told them the situation and not to discuss Aya's care with her.
