So, my mother's dementia is getting worse. Now, whatever she's watching on tv or reading she will call me multiple times a day and leave me voicemails about random things that make no sense at all.

It's very strange to experience this from the same parent who emotionally abused me growing up. It's giving me anxiety. The person she used to be is completely gone now; replaced by an elderly person with severe dementia.

Edit to add: my cell # is programmed into her phone. I'm thinking of having her phone disconnected so she won't be able to call me incessantly every day. Maybe this will make her leave her room for all the activities that happen in her memory care unit.

Can anyone relate to this?
