Guest guest Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 Sounds like Alzheimers to me. My nada displayed a lifetime of BPD/depression/wickedness and is now in 4th stage Alzheimers. I've studied the disease in depth now. It's pretty much going to happen to anyone who spends a lifetime thinking bad thoughts.....the brain cells start to die off, memory begins to fail, anger gets worse, hallucinations start to creep in. It's not pretty, and for us KO's it truly is hurtful. Laurie In a message dated 12/25/2010 11:04:49 P.M.

It seems that not only is our nada's memory deteriorating rapidly (nada accused Sister of only seeing her once a year: nada doesn't remember the recent out-of-state trip she and Sister took together, or their Thanksgiving visit, among other visits) nada also accused Sister of being " a shark " and being untrustworthy and undeserving to be the executor of nada's will. Sister was devastated by that vitriolic and undeserved slap, and decided to break contact with nada, again. I felt so badly for Sister. Sister had managed to maintain a relationship with our nada with firm boundaries and limits in place since nada completed therapy and nada seemed to be going along with the program, but apparently, again, the seeming improvement was not genuine. In our nada's case, it seems that the disease is intractable and is worsening with old age. It really does appear as though our nada is on the " borderline " between neurosis and psychosis. My nada is experiencing paranoia and delusions (even hallucinations?) more frequently now; Sister says that nada smells smells that aren't there and sees people that aren't there, and nada is now convinced that Sister is neglecting her and is after her money. It is sad, truly, but its also important for Sister and me to protect ourselves from false claims of elder abuse, so Sister is going to inform our nada's sister (our Auntie The Younger) of nada's recent change of heart regarding her will and totally back away so that nada can choose her own sister or someone else to be the executor of nada's will instead of Sister. Bpd and the other Cluster B disorders are such horrible, horrible conditions, its truly tragic that they cause such unhappiness for both the person who has it and such devastating emotional damage to their loved ones, particularly to their children. God please help all the researchers; please help them discover a cure for this thing. -Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 You could very well be right, Laurie, that its now a situation of borderline pd/narcissistic pd PLUS Alzheimer's for my nada. I hope either my Sister or my aunt will consider getting nada evaluated for Alzheimers, somehow. (Yeah, right; like there is any possibility that nada would agree to that!) We may just have to wait it out until nada reaches a point where she can no longer say " no " and just hope that meanwhile nada doesn't set her apartment on fire by accident, or decide to give all her money away to the next man who smiles at her, or makes a suicide attempt. (She's already started giving money to the tune of a few hundred at a time to at least a couple of neighbor men who have behaved kindly toward her and then hit her up for a " loan " ; yet another indicator of both a desperate need for attention and dementia.) Truly, mental illness radiates tragedy. -Annie > > Sounds like Alzheimers to me. My nada displayed a lifetime of > BPD/depression/wickedness and is now in 4th stage Alzheimers.
