Dear LFTP: six siblings and an aging mother showing early dementia signs

• What should we do about our aging mother who cuts us down and may have dementia?

A family of six adult children writes about their elderly mother, who rotates between their homes, cuts them down, accuses people of taking her money, and refuses to let the one homemaker sibling house her permanently. The hosts suggest a family meeting and note that the personality change may signal dementia — the secular answer recommends a geriatric psychiatric evaluation and a workable permanent living situation.
