Mom thinks I am her Mom

Tonight when I was dealing with her pimple/boil, she said a few things..

like...ouch, that hurts.

I asked her if it felt better when I put something hot on it.

She said, "sometimes".

As she was talking, and she doesn't much, I decided to ask her if she knew who I was

She said "Yes, you are my Mom".

I didn't correct her.

I hope her confusion is only temporary. But, I think it might not be.

That would mean it's really a decline in her awareness.

But honestly, I have become the Mom.

I can't even say this really upsets me.

It's just the way it is.
