Now this is one MEAN MOMMA for sure
This is truly deeply disturbing and sad.
PHOENIX ? A 92-year-old woman shot and killed her son in Arizona after she refused to be sent to an assisted living facility, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
"You took my life, so I'm taking yours," Anna Mae Blessing of Fountain Hills reportedly said as deputies escorted her from the apartment she shared with her 72-year-old son and his girlfriend.
The man's name had not been released by Tuesday afternoon.
Court records show Blessing had been contemplating her son's intentions to put her in an assisted living facility for several days prior to the Monday morning shooting. Blessing told deputies her son wanted her to leave because she "had become difficult to live with."
Blessing reported hiding two pistols in the pockets of her robe before confronting her sleeping son, court records show.
She fired one of the pistols multiple times, striking and killing her son before pointing the gun at his girlfriend, who wrestled away the firearm and threw it into a corner of the room, court records show.
Blessing then retrieved the second handgun from her pocket, records show, and attempted to point it at the girlfriend, who again knocked it out of her hand.
While the girlfriend fled the room, court records said, Blessing proceeded to sit in her recliner in her bedroom and told detectives that she wanted to kill herself, but had no additional weapons to do so.
Deputies arrived following the incident and took Blessing into custody.
Officials said Blessing faces charges of first-degree murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and kidnapping. Her bond was set at $500,000.
Blessing's next court hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. July 10.

I saw/lived it too. My mom's husband was saying things that no man should say to his wife. It hurt mom badly; I tried to keep reminding her it was the dementia, not her husband's true feeling. The sufferer can become meaner than a yellow jacket especially towards evening when sundowners syndrome kicks in.0 -
I don't know if true or not but I have heard that the personality of a person with Alzheimers will most likely be the opposite of what the person was prior to the onslaught of the Alzheimers.
I know it is true with my dad and the mother of one of my friends. I always thought my dad would be one of the mean ones because of how I knew him to be. Totally opposite. He was so passive I couldn't believe it.
The mother of one of my friends was an absolute angel. Whenever she developed Alzheimers, you wouldn't believe the words out of her mouth. She would have made a sailor blush.0 -
$500K bond at 92 ??? like she's gonna run away ??? 0 -
Prison food is better than nursing home food? 0 -
If the son knew there were weapons in the house, they should have been secured.
When my dad got real bad years ago, I took all his firearms to my place. Not for my safety but for his. He was in great pain from bone cancer and wanted to die.0 -

AND she will get better care.
This shooting is liable to give lots of old forks a idea, that jail might be better than assisted living or nursing home.0 -
