Blaming and anger: How do you deal with it?

Mrs. Jekyll was the nicest person ever. I was amazed she had 500 contacts, friends and family, on her iPhone. She fell getting up from the sofa Saturday and said, "Why did you push me?" When she misplaces something in the house, she claims someone stole it. I just ask her some questions or tell her she might be right. Passive control? Five minutes later she'll tell me she loves me.

@elliottw
So sorry. How do you brush it off without it affecting you?

@elliottw Sounds like early signs of Alzheimer's or dementia. I've seen this behavior before and this was the case.
