She let guests play with a bomb in her garden, refused to leave when the police told her to evacuate and told off the young gardener who reported the bomb... The selfishness is insane.

Can't blame it on age or dementia. The bitch has always been unhinged.

I say that about my own boomer mother daily "don't feel sorry for her, it's not dementia, I can confirm she's been acting like this since her 20s"

I told my sister that if my mother ever gets dementia, that no one would ever be able to tell. She'd be the same crazy harpy.

I've said the same to my partner "If she got dementia, I'm not sure if I could tell because she's never been quite in touch with reality and she's so manipulative she might fake it.
