A few years ago, my aunt was visiting my dad and I and in the morning as I was getting coffee got in my face and accused me of biting her on the lip...I have/had no idea of what in the world she was talking about....She also accused me of other things that didn't happen...is this dementia? Alzheimers? she just died and was 83.
In an odd way, it is fortunate that she has crossed over and can no longer continue making accusations. With this kind of problem, added to suspicion and paranoia, the difficulty usually accelerates to a very uncomfortable degree prior to the patient losing more cognisance of their being and/or awareness and long before it gets better.
You are both wise and compassionate and knowledgeable, and you may be right about trolls. I have no idea who you think it is. I'm not quite sure what a troll is.
Whenever anyone says, "That person is just a troll," I cringe. It sounds so unwelcoming. As Melody12 says, it isn't always easy to figure out how this site works. There probably are LOTS of people who find us, post a question, and never return. Is that so bad? Yes, it's frustrating to craft a reply to a specific question, really engaging with the poster, and never knowing if it was even read.
But the next person to have that problem will read the question, and she or he will engage with the question and your response. So it isn't wasted, after all.
Can you please slow down a little before declaring trollhood? We and especially newcomers are thin-skinned and easily wounded.
Love ya both.
