Having illusions
My mom age 56 is single parent. Dad passed away when I was 2.
Now a days she feels that some people are following her and they are not some particular people. She says there are many she cannot even count. I think she is getting illusions.
If someone coughs in front of her she says that they are coughing to tease her.
Now a days she started doubting on everyone who coughs in front of her including me.
She constantly says someone want me to get mad so they are doing all these.
What should I do ?
Why is she behaving like this ?
