I had a friend in high school who lived with her mom and stepfather. When she would talk about her “real dad”, it wasn’t a compliment. You just sort of got the feeling he was a deadbeat. Given this BM’s actions, maybe “real mom” doesn’t mean to SD what it means to you.

George Bernard Shaw once said that to the person with a toothache, nothing in the world matters but his tooth pain. Your OSD's whole world seems to revolve around her narrow self-involved grievances. What a sad, tiny island to live on.

Thanks for sharing that, Trying. I'm learning more and more about dementia. His response sounded like the sensible person I knew who was always clear sighted about life. The exception used to be SD who he tried to protect from reality. This new attitude might be part of what YSS59 has observed..YSS said DH used to grill him about every aspect of his life, now doesn't. I read somewhere that the dementia folks only have so much interest or ability to focus. So, maybe he took in as much as he was capable then stopped her.
In any event, I hate that she can't grasp his situation, continues to pile on her problems no matter what. He has 2 forms of cancer along with the dementia and infirmity. I could see him on a deathbed somewhere with her showing up and starting in on her car problems, housing situation, medical issues, financial difficulties and latest relationship failures. Sigh...
