Reminder: studies show that even in cases of severe dementia, emotions resulting from interactions persist even if the event is forgotten.

"The results of this study have direct implications for how society treats individuals with memory disorders (such as patients with Alzheimer's disease), as events that have long been forgotten could continue to induce suffering or well-being. For example, a simple visit or telephone call from family members might have a lingering positive influence on a patient's affective state even though the patient may quickly forget the visit or phone call."

They weren't worried about how their mother felt or what their visits may have done to help her. Anth and JoeyH didn't visit because it would have made THEM sad.

Joe said that it cost a lot of money to keep his mom in whatever place they wouldn't visit. His little brother paying for other people to take care of her makes them both good sons. Got it, Reddittard?

Typical Cumia scum, just throw some of Ant's dwindling funds at the problem and hope it goes away. Just like Ant telling Dani "I will pay you to leave" the night he bit her. How'd that work out?

Go watch the video of how non-communicative Alzheimer’s patients listening to music from their “prime years”. The way they light up is inspiring.
I can only imagine that hearing your own children’s voices would have the same effect.

If your children are loser faggot pedophiles, it might not have the same effect. Disappointment is not a positive emotion. Trust me, I know. I've had it a lot.
