Golden_eve, Thank you so much. Mostly when I talk to her, she hears my voice and looks at me, but her response doesn't match what I said. I asked what she had for dinner, she responded with, See? You saw it too!, That ship blew up in San Francisco!. I think she mostly hears my voice but turns my words to match whatever is going on in her head. So explaining she is saying something hurtful or inappropriate hasn't worked so far. There have been maybe 2 days (last weekend maybe?) when she would ask questions about things she heard or saw. She explained there's 2 worlds, and me and her daughter are in one, but she is sometimes in the other and would try to figure out which things went in which world, like, Was I in Tiajuana last night? No Baby, you're here, in the hospital. OH, I thought you guys abandoned me on the other side of the border, that wasn't real? No Baby, I would never do that to you. Days like that give me hope but there's only been 2 of them in the last 15 days. then she regresses and it crushes me. Last night when she rejected our visit I broke down in the parking lot and wept. Her daughter took my keys and drove us home.
