Hello susan welcome to talking point, so sorry to hear your husband has vascular demenia, you have come to the best place to get lots oc help and support, l have been on this forum for 2yrs it has helped me so much with my journey looking after my hubby with Alzheimers, it is so hard to come to terms with it is so difficult to cope with the disease, l feel for you, keep posting whenever you need to,
Hi Susan - welcome to TP. I also have a husband who is verbally abusive. It is so very hard isn't it. I describe it more as walking on broken glass than eggshells, as his barbs are like daggers. After 46 years of a happy marriage, to be spoken to like he does is so hurtful, but unfortunately is part of this terrible disease. I think that he would be horrified if could have forseen how he would be acting

Wow, he's been in there some time, then. The dementia can do dreadful things which we have to see most days. It's the worst thing to happen to anybody. They don't even know their own behaviour, do they.
Tough for you, hearing how he speaks to you, Susan. Hope you've got someone you can turn to in these difficult times. Should you not, never forget there are all of us here with big shoulders. You're welcome to defuse whenever you need to.
Lots of love to you, with a big hug.
