is he totally resistant to befriender or a sitter, someone who can pretend to be your friend to start with and, once he's used to them, who can offer to stay while you 'pop to the shops' or something? What happens if you're ill or have to go into hospital? I'm sorry I don't know your circumstances so apologise if you've tried everything, being incarcerated has to be the hardest thing, you have my heartfelt sympathy.

Hugs

Hi Christmas, what I am going to say isn't going to help, OH is older than me and has parkinson's which is slowly going to dementia. Yes I know what it is like not to go out. I am able to nip to the shops, (at the momnet) but frightened he falls or has another heart attack. I have to be careful also to be back when I say...eg going out for couple of hours be bacK 11.30. I have times down to fine art.

Your OH doesn't realise this but if you end up with carer's breakdown because of this dreadful stress things will be much worse for him too.

Is it time to ask for him to go into respite care for a couple of weeks? You could always blame it on the doctor who says he/you need a complete rest.

He may well be angry, but I personally don't believe that just because a person has dementia they have to have their own way all the time. If he goes into respite you will know that he is safe and the professionals will be used to difficult behaviour.

I put OH into respite, making it my fault ( well, I did have Carers breakdown) and the gp had said I needed complete break.
That way he could blame me and gp but it was going to go ahead.
That was a year ago, he's now in care home full time, barely able to walk or talk, way past my capabilities of caring for him.

Christmas please do think on what Pickles53 and Spamar have said - you will be no good to man nor beast if you break down and you sound close to it - for both your sakes get some help; at this point your needs override your husband's refusals - at the very least go to your own GP and offload exactly how things are and how you feel so s/he can support YOU
