Having known a few people in this situation, yes it is indeed common for people to imagine slights against them. Common for Alzheimers sufferers to wrongly accuse their offspring of stealing from them. This can happen because you're trying to manage their money for them, ensure utility bills are paid etc. Unfortunately, sometimes people become estranged from their families because of this. Don't underestimate the amount of stress you can be under simply giving regular care to a person in this state. Stress is stealthy, it can creep up on you, suddenly you overreact to things, snap etc. So I'd say give yourself a break if you can, don't be afraid to ask others for help. There does sometimes come a time when you have to give up and let the person go to a care home. Its the last thing one wants to do of course. A person in my extended family resisted doing that for a long time, it wasn't pretty, I think the affected person "luckily" died before their behaviour got even more out of hand. The best thing you might be able to do is look into getting some respite from caring and/or have some activities your Mum can go to. There's all sorts out there now in terms of help for Alzheimers patients, community things for example choirs, because learning songs helps memory etc
