Ah, dementia is a shitty thing. I’ve dealt with it with both of my grandmothers now, and especially one of my grandfathers who had incredibly severe Alzheimer’s.

It’s difficult, very difficult. Especially if you knew them before the dementia set in. Some people might not understand your annoyance with the illness, but it’s a perfectly normal thing for it to drive you up the wall (though you do have to remember it’s not their fault and while it’s okay to be annoyed about it, it’s not cool to be mean to them for that reason).

There’s not much advice I can give other than to be patient and to honestly just distance yourself as much as you’re comfortable with and as long as it doesn’t put undue strain on your relationship with your family. At this point in time, she is not your responsibility and it sounds like with your grandfather, uncle, and parents living with her, she has plenty of a support structure around her.

Feel free to vent away here or our Emotional thread. It always helps.
