re: A family member with dementia and telling them they can't drive

I had to do this with my mother a year ago. She stayed angry for a long time. The worst part is when they keep asking about their keys and/or vehicle, and it's all new to them every couple of days. Now the overt anger is gone, but replaced by regular guilt trips about how she wishes she could get out and see people, or drive to the store and etc. It's tough, but was the right choice. It was a dangerous situation. Not only driving dangerously, but getting lost in the town she's lived in for 50 years.
