My mother (age 93, physically active) often moves back to her 30's as real with full impulse and command, forgetting the present day. How to manage it.

Question

let her enjoy her past and help her by participating in her drama- just like your small child enacts out of nothing and you fully participate. an example - your child enacts with hands- "papa drink tea." you enact taking the invisible cup from your child's hand, put it to your mouth and tell the child you finished it.

similarly fully enact with your old mother and see how you will all enjoy. once she is gone - you will miss these golden moments.

presently you scold her,abuse her, maybe hit her to behave like a grown up. you end up Frustrated.

now try the opposite. play the same tune as she and you will dance to glory both being happy. it is going to be very new for you - in her 30s things were so different. remember the songs of yester years. sound so funny now.

so, Urge you to ENJOY WITH YOUR MOTHER TILL YOU HAVE HER....
