This sounds awful

I have made a few posts over the last few days or so regarding my mum . Who I have been non contact with for many years. I recently found out that she has dementia and my sister suggested I should go and see her .incase somthing happens and I regret not seeing her.

So I went to see her yesterday. I had to go fron London to Boston the journey is horrible. So i went to her care home to see her . She did recognise me right away . Which was nice. And she wanted a big hug. It was also sad because she was saying T is here somewhere. Not sure where but he's here . Then later she said T was shouting for me all morning I could hear him shouting for me. He's gone quite now he either got told to stop or he's fell sleep. T is not even there. She also said see that lady in the photo that's my mum that is. Its not it's her.

And she was forgetting other general bits.

It was really sad to see . But I didn't really feel anything towards her. I felt sad for her like you would towards any elderly person with dementia. But I didn't feel emotional like daughter/mother normally would

Who's T?!

I think it's understandable to feel that way as it's not the mum you knew previously prior to the dementia. Do you feel at peace for going to see her?

I think its because there's been no contact for such a long time .
