Your experience with elderly people under the same roof
Hi! First of all this is my first post because I only joined recently. I'm not a mother neither am I in a relationship :P I'm not sure what else to say but I hope this tiny intro might at least give you some idea about me as a member of this forum.
I'm only curious to know what's your experience with elderly people living under the same roof especially if their behavior is irrational and immature and communication with them becomes really difficult, and how you cope without getting too distracted.
And does your experience make pretty much difference whether you're in early or late twenties and so on?
Thank you.

Re: Your experience with elderly people under the same roof
Why am I asking? Because I have read few other topics on this forum that are almost similar to the situation I'm seeing. And when I see people's replies here, I can tell they already have an experience and I could probably get some good ideas. That's all really.
The behavior I'm referring to is the one that people show when they're on and off. But when the person I'm talking about just goes 'off', it gets really bad. Blaming and slandering is commonly what I am facing.
Why can't I move out? I'm not studying in the states and cannot go anywhere till I complete my remaining academic years. Unless I manage to transfer to another school but it is not that simple and my chances are slim.
I hope I cleared any doubts you had. Thank you.
Thanks for answering. I am not sure if she really has dementia. Like many other elderly people she tends to forget. But memory loss isn't that severe. Meaning she can tell who the people are around her, who's calling, the time and place, etc.
We are related by blood. I'm no caregiver. Caregiver is there but can't do much till now. In fact he tried to help her but she keeps on refusing it and believes she's doing alright. And when someone doesn't take her side even when she's doing something wrong, she can act passive or turn the whole table on them. The other people are my sibling and an aunt.
Perhaps it isn't dementia or "age" --- it could very well be that you and your "roommates" simply do not mesh together and you do not get along. It happens.
