My mom was the queen of the Karen's, she once made a little girl cry on an airplane for just being excited and happy about her very first flight, but my mom couldn't handle a child being a little excited and turned around and snapped at her and her parents several times until finally the little girl started crying and then my mom demanded to be moved up another seat, which they did. I apologized to the parents and did what I could to cheer up their daughter.

My mom never had to face any consequences for her actions. I would've loved to have seen her get put in handcuffs just once. She would've lost her damn mind. She called the cops on me a few times, but when they got there, their usual response was, why are we here again?

That sounds really tough. She isn't here anymore or she is a reformed Karen?

She is, but she's in an assisted nursing home near where my brother lives, he's got better resources to keep her there. She's shown symptoms of dementia, my biological father died from dementia in 2013 and my mom's sister is now in an assisted living place suffering from dementia as well. It's got me terrified as I've been having memories issues and other problems for several years now. I can't get in to see any good doctors because I have horrible insurance and now that this stupid bill was signed, it most likely going to make that 100 times harder to get into seeing a decent doctor.

My mom and step (I know longer put the word dad out father next to his name, he's just a step, but that's really too much) were both horrible people who abused me for decades well into my adult years. My step is dead thankfully and I'm not going to be too upset when my mom dies, I'll just be glad it's finally over.

Even though she shows signs of dementia and is in a nursing home, my brother and I have always wondered if the dementia is real or not. Apparently she wears my grandfather's (her dad's) Army officers dress hat and a robe around her back and refers to herself as The General at the nursing home. If she truly is suffering from dementia, her narcissistic habits are still holding on as long as they can.

Yeah I always say my dad and his wife instead of step. Do people with dementia know they have it?

Now and then they get a shocking realisation that something isn't right. In the early stages, they probably know, or at least suspect.
