Yea. Had a chat before and said the crew staff were worried and checking on you because they hadn’t seen someone do that (snatch a boarding pass) before (as we know QANTAS folk are old and been there for a while) and she was offended and said ‘it’s always my fault’.
I feel bad for bringing it up. The hostess at he end said she (mum) was so sweet.
I’m going to have to adjust how I approach these things i think. I just didn’t see it properly until now.
I’m a bit brain-dead atm so can’t find the right words, but do want to say I have some idea of what you’re going through.
My dad had dementia and it took me a while to realise something more than just ‘old age’ was wrong, because I wasn’t spending days with him at a time, and the symptoms come and go.
There could also be other things that might cause unusual symptoms (uti’s for example) so a general checkup to rule things out would be a good idea, if you can get your mum to go.
As others have suggested, keeping records can give you greater insight into what’s happening and when, which might shed some more light on things.
Real tough one mate. I think you first need to consider whether she’s at risk of harming herself or others. If not, things can chill for a bit, and in the meantime see if you can get some monitoring happening - professional ideally.
