Q: mother has displayed paranoid behavior, talks in different voices , and has taken back offer to help with my surgical needs. My sister cut off communication and mom demanded a loan of $70,000 repaid
This behavior could be from dememtia, or it could be medication problems, mental illness, an infection or any one of several issues. If you can get it across to your mom that she could have an infection or something and needs to see a doctor, then you may get somewhere with her. There are medications that can help.
Good luck,
Carol
