My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's nearly 2 years. It is in a mild form and she is still able to live at home with my sister going in daily to care for her. However, she really seems to have taken against my niece, my sister's dd who is 28. She moves her handbag if my niece comes in. She's has accused her of throwing out all of her paperwork and now, a new one, that my niece arranged for some man to come and clear out her bookcase! This did actually happen, years ago, but it wasn't my niece it was my dad who has been dead for 22 years. Is this normal? Do people with Alzheimer's take against a certain person? It is upsetting for me, so must be doubly so for my sister as it is her dd and she (niece) was always really close to my mum. Thank you.
