When your elder with dementia seems selfish or stops caring about your feelings, it feels like they have become a different person. These changes happen because the brain is losing flexibility and the ability to handle empathy or self-control. It makes them seem inconsiderate or stubborn when they used to be kind.
To get through this, remember it is not personal. You cannot argue someone into being thoughtful if their mind struggles to process how you feel. When we stop seeing it as a choice and start seeing it as a physical change, it becomes easier to stay calm and lead with patience.
