Now Im suddenly nursemaid to my mothera deaf drama queen sinking into the abyss of dementia who hallucinates bugs that fart black clouds of poison. And if that isnt enough, lets just add a flipping pandemic, social distancing, and product shortages into the mix. Why not?</p><p>Totally inappropriate thoughts and stories about living with an extremely dramatic mother afflicted with dementia, who was also a deaf sign-language user. How I dealt with the insanity and chaos on the days that I could, and how I didnt on the days that I couldnt.</p><p>This book is not a soft, touchy-feely, sweet story about how to love and coddle your parent suffering from dementia. Its not a medical look into the disease, and its not a how-to manual giving you all the ins and outs of how to deal with dementia. In fact, I recommend you do not follow my example.</p><p>It is my attempt at figuring out how to survive inside the insane asylum that had become my mothers mind. Its about how it sometimes takes dark humor to retain your own sanity amidst the turmoil, about how laughter can be OKAY when it is the only thing keeping you from slipping over the bleeding edge of crazy. Its about how totally inappropriate behavior can sometimes be the only thing that allows you to live inside the chaos your life has morphed into.</p><p>If you are uncomfortable with dark, sarcastic humor or extremely offended by curse words, then this book IS NOT for you.<br />But if youre the person who understands that sometimes you have to hang off the edge a bit in order to keep it all together inside your own mind, who understands that sometimes sanity-retaining laughter can be totally inappropriate and totally necessary, who is perhaps a person trying to navigate the landmines of a loved ones dementia yourself, then settle in and keep reading. This book is most definitely for you.</p><p><strong>Amanda Cabot, bestselling author -</strong> <em>Life with a Demented Drama Queen</em> is a book that deserves to be read.</p><p><strong>P. A. Dycus -</strong> While the subject matter of this story is emotional, Lassiter is able to deliver it in page-turner fashion. This is a must read for everyone, whether you are a medical or care-giving professional, a family member facing the decline of a loved one, or just someone looking for an inspiring real-life story.</p><p><strong>Cassie Ryan, author of <em>My Obsession</em> -</strong> A strong dose of reality during a world-wide pandemic, a large dollop of humor, and a whole lot of love. Within the span of a few pages, it made me both cry and laugh out loud. Highly recommended.</p>...(*_*)9798215428597_<p>Heart-wrenching and laugh-out-loud funny account of Kayce Lassiters efforts to care for an aging deaf mother sliding into the darkness of dementia in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p><strong>How had this become my life?
