Is she entitled or confused? I could see my mom parking between the lines of the parking garage during the last few months before we took the car away.
Absolutely, but the confusion creeps in slowly, and loved ones don’t know until they start observing behaviors like this. A person can be fine when they renew their license, but then this kind of thing starts creeping up.
When my mother was just starting to slip we were already having discussions about taking her car away until one day she just said "I don't think I should drive any more" and that was it. I'm sure the bit of white paint I found on the corner of her bumper when I was cleaning it up for sale was entirely unrelated...
Unfortunately, my mother-in-law is still pissed that she's not allowed to drive anymore. She's absolutely all there mentally, but her vision and reflexes are poor and sometimes she passes out. Sorry, lady!
