Shes meant to care for my family. But actually she wants to harm us all.
How does an 81-year-old woman, who hasnt left her bedroom let alone the house without assistance in months, simply vanish into thin air? Im trying not to freak out at the thought of my mother wandering the neighborhood, lost in a maze of confusion.
We found her but that was the moment I knew I needed help. Im at breaking point. Im a stay-at-home mom. I love my four-year-old twins deeply but theyre a handful. My husbands always away on business. My mothers in the early stages of dementia. Its a lot.
So I let Dana into my home.
Shes the answer to my prayers. Shell be my mothers live-in caregiver.
Soon there are red flags.
I catch Dana gazing at my husband when she thinks Im not looking. She tells my daughter shes part of the family now. My son Sam is becoming silent and withdrawn.
And then, a few weeks after Danas arrival, I enter my mothers bedroom and get the shock of my life.
I ask Dana to leave. But she wont...M.F
