My mom has been in memory care for over a year. The few times I brought her to my house she gets very agitated and wants to go home. Today is Thanksgiving and my wife and I thought it good to go have dinner with her. I called yesterday and found out they are having a brunch. My wife worked last night and works tonight so she wasn’t going to make it. She stated that “she probably won’t recognize me anyway” which is true.
She also doesn’t recognize me anymore either.
She is also is also deaf so talking to her is near impossible. Basically use an app on the phone to type messages in large font to her. She only understands very simple questions half the time.
I headed out to go have lunch with her but now am stuck in a parking lot down the street trying to justify in my head why I am OK not seeing her and not feel guilty for not following through.
TLDR; feeling guilty for not wanting to visit my mom with Alzheimer’s.
