Good Afternoon,
my wife has Dementia, she sleeps a lot
stays in bed most of the day, gets aggressive when you try to explain things. She repeats herself and doesn't like when you try to explain things.
my son and daughter in law come to visit and look after her whilst I'm out on a friday. I volunteer with Sight Life at there gardening club, it's getting very stressful during the rest of the wke.
if she doesn't want to do something she puts her head over the landing and says Dave I'm not feeling very well I'm going back to bed, very very stressful , this happens 7 days a wke. I do do the shopping on a Wednesday with or without her .

Hi @Dave 2400 and welcome - I hope you'll find it to be a supportive and welcoming place here. I'm really sorry to hear about your wife, and that she has been aggressive. It sounds like things are incredibly stressful for you. Other members will be along soon to offer you some support and suggestions.
