Any real advice on how to avoid losing your temper with a parent that has early to almost middle stages of dementia. Sometimes I wonder if a specific behavior she is exhibiting is dementia or just being selfish. The one thing in the house I asked her not to do and she won’t do it for a months. Than all of a sudden, she does it and makes excuses that she was trying to help. I look at her and I tell her you know that you’re not supposed to do that, why are you doing and she continues to make excuses. Then when I get up, she plays the martyr. And she loved playing the martyr.
