i think mum's sudden deterioration was to a large extent due to the maid's impending 10-day break starting 3 dec. you see, i have decided to let the maid head back home to visit her son and family. she has, after all, spend one year with us and has done a reasonably good job. it is also the right thing to do, considering her son is only 8 years old.
had broached the topic to mum a few months back and she was agreeable and she could empathise with the maid - being away from her son for so long. and then lately, mum has been asking repeatedly about when the maid will be returning. and to me, her repeated questioning is a sign of stress. and thus, linking her recent deterioration in her mental conditions, i could only conclude that it is anxiety-induced paranoia, delusion etc... that is making her haywire.
