She talks without pausing for breath hijacks all conversations and repeats the same stories endlessly every topic she has been there seen it done it and always revolves everything back to her. A bit of a hyacinth bouquet too. Never asks about me or my life. Dh struggles big time so I try to keep them apart. It’s very wearing. Advice on dealing please Mumsnetters ? I wonder if it’s first sign dementia. She’s 72.

Anxiety?

how long have you known her? Has she always been like this?

I am starting to get a bit worried about my mum. Similar age. Loves to be the centre of attention - has exaggerated reactions to things - is alway performing - and the filter has gone.

she was always a bit like this - emotionally immature - but it is becoming more intense as she ages. She says some awful things to people.
