I continue to be amazed by how much my Dad has taken on my Mom’s characteristics. He has become critical, frugal, paranoid, and the latest: he has developed her voracious skin itching. He scratches incessantly out of habit just like Mom did. He opens wounds just as Mom did. There is no medical cause for his itching and none of the itching remedies stop him from scratching—JUST LIKE MOM!
He called me down at 5AM to scratch his back and asks caregivers to rub him throughout the day.
I feel so bad for him.
