No not the record company, it stands for Elderly Mentally Infirm.
I am shell shocked, dumstruck, tearful and exhausted. My ME symptoms have gone back about 6 years and I am not sleeping at all.
I am learning about EMI fast. It seems my Mother may be just suffering with Mental Illness. Either that or she has just turned plain nasty in her 86th year, I have just had the visit from Hell. Previous visits were no picnic but this has taken me totally unawares.
And that is what EMI is like. It creeps up and bites you on the bum when you least expect it. And boy is that bite painful.

Honestly Jas, it sounds like it might be dementia- I know a couple of people whose mothers have been the same. I know she's never been the most sympathetic, but try to think it's not really her...
And get some rest and be kind to yourself. We love you!

Hugs Jas, I think that Diane is right. Your mother has had the signs of dementia for a long time.
Very difficult for you I am sure.
She's a very complex case I think because in most areas she is so lucid and utterly believable. It's almost like a Jekyll and Hyde character.
I'm trying to get some 'me' time this week.
