Thank you, Scott…part of me thought maybe he needs to be aware, so we can discuss and plan…but then I felt so bad. (Still a diagnosis of MCI)

And I wasn’t angry, nor was he…but he did get very quiet. 😢

Very much appreciate your comments!!

When my mother does these types of things and I make her aware she also doesn't get angry she gets more depressed because it's almost like she had forgotten her brain had stopped functioning as it used to and this was a reminder. She will then forget the reason for this sad feeling but still feel sad for a long time so I try not to point out these types of mistakes if I can avoid it. I hate to see her sad.
