I don't know how to say to her that she needs to see a doctor, because any attempts to interfere in this way are met with hostility and resistence.

Hi. I found this forum through Google.

I've recently been noticing odd behaviors from my mother. She doesn't remember a lot of things from both my childhood and my sister's childhood.

I just wanted some advice: I am an only child of a wonderful woman. My Mother is 67 and our lives have been far from easy. For the past few years, I have noticed some changes in my Mom's personality. I first noticed at my wedding, 4 years ago, that she seemed a little detached from everything: like she wasn't getting into it as much as I had thought. Since then, I've noticed that she ...
