My mom isn't any danger to anyone. Aside from the hoarding, she mainly comes across as eccentric, I suppose. Occasionally she sounds worse, like last night.
But she also loves drama, and perhaps she was trying to suck me into worrying. Which succeeded.
I think she's gotten worse with age. But she was always like this to some extent. I suspect it isn't so much her growing older as her losing my father. He at least kept her from spinning too far into excess. Her brother seems to go along with whatever she says and doesn't challenge what she says. My mother likes that.
I think I'll try not to think about it. That seems to work best with my mother.
I'm sorry about your mom. That sounds like much more to deal with than mine is.
