A while back I posted about my mom tripping and treating me really bad ... but right now she just asked me if I was peter , and I said yes ... she said that's my son ... I hoping she was just tired ... but maybe I'm making excuses and she had dementia ... what do you think

This and wish you the best. Hopefully it was just an episode from fatigue. Caring for someone with dementia is no joke. Grandma has alzheimer's and it is frightening yet fascinating what age can do to the mind.

Don't take your basic cognitive abilities for granted.

Im not a doctor but it sounds like Dementia to me bro.
My Grandmother had it and I have to say it is a VERY tough thing to deal with.

She used to call me Mr Dusanis's son. Back in the day she used to be a maid for the Dusanises and when she would have an episode she would think it was back then.
Tried to hit me with a broom and everything talkin bout leave me alone white man.(im light skinned)

But she would pop back in and know who I was.
The hardest part is answering the same question that she just asked 1 minute ago and realizing that her mind was going to ****.
I left school to help my parents take care of her because if she got out the house she would be gone with no way to find her.

Please go get her checked out. Im not sure what early prevention does to help this but it sounds like an advanced stage from what I know from my own experience.
And update us on the status. i will do whatever i can to help you if you need it financially.

My great grandma had Alzheimer's and early signs were mixing up my family's names and difficulty forming and understanding sentences at times. Take her to a doctor.

 good luck
 
How old is she?

I've had similar situations happen with mi abuela. Some days she's on point, other times she has trouble remembering things and will mix up her own children's names.
 
I didn't want to go to deep in my experience but I guess its best to share the signs.

Long story short, my grandma became very isolated and started having delusions. Became extremely paranoid and would hide random stuff around the house (like a can opener) and of course forget where it was. Eventually she was put into a "home" but she became combative with other residents/workers and kept running away. The disease is so bad now that she's an invalid, can't even eat without feeding tubes, and randomly breaks into spells where she just makes this "rahrahrah...." sound. Can hardly speak now and conversation is nearly impossible.

Quality of life is pretty much nil and caring for her has taken a toll, especially on my pops.
 
Take her to a doctor. Dementia is tough. I have a family friend whos dad suffers from it. He doesnt even recognize the brother and beats him with his cane and accuses him of trying to steal his money. He consistently would wander from home then forget where he was, how to get back and even his name.


Get her checked out and best of luck bro
