You could anonymously call the office of the aging and a visiting nurse will call. If she is being this difficult and u suspect bipolar disorder or dementia she may require care. How independent is she? Good luck, I was ran through the ringer with my Gram though I miss her terrible. Take Care!!

Thanks for your response. Sorry for the delay in replying. She is very independent for her age. The only health issue was cancer a few years back that she takes chemo pills for on occasion but other than that, she is ok. She still drives a good bit and has minimal mobility issues. Most people dont realize how she can be from time to time. She puts up a very convincing front, so I have my doubts that there is anything that the state could do.
