I'm kind of numb right now. I don't want to accept the reality that my mom is very ill. She's showing signs of extreme dementia. She can't remember anything and is irrational most of the time. We all know it's probably the first sign of alzheimers.
My mom has always been a proud woman. Now it's that pride and the illness that is keeping her from going to the doctor. I'm hoping we can get her medicated soon to calm down her manic episodes. It's really heartbreaking. She was always the strong one. The one that took care of the family. Now, she can't let us take care of her. I don't know what to do. I want someone to fucking fix it now. My mom wasn't meant to leave us like this. Life is unfathomably cruel sometimes...

She too fought my sister very hard about the doctors, but my sister was strong and made her go, and told the doctor all the things that my aunt would not.
I know it is hard, but you have to make sure she gets help before it gets real bad.
