Difficult to ask such personal questions to persons never met, but also helpful in a way.
I am married to a man diagnosed with Alzheimers. We have a large home and grounds.
He refuses to allow anyone to come and maintain it, therefore it is out of control and not at all what it was previously. There have been times my daughter has taken him away and the grounds have been maintained. I find myself needing to do that again and I am tired with all of the planning it takes. I still work full time by choice because it is the lesser of to evils...I cannot stay home 24 hours a day. Does that make sense?
Is what I have described a symptom of Alzheimer's or plain old control?
