For a while now my partner has had moments when he didnt recognise me but yesterday he didnt know who I was all day and had no memory of anything of our long relationship. I fear that i handled it badly as I was devastated even though intellectually that it is his brain deteriorating. he was baffled my upset. he believes I am one of the carers who come in once a week. Then the guilt at not handling it well was awful too.Poor old man..kept telling me that he ' learn to like me' !!
Every time I steal myself that he has gone down so much then he seems the next couple of days to be a bit clearer and then down further again a couple of days later. He has no other family to help so it is very intense for me and SO exhausting and sad. the lack of sleep gets me to a point where I can only just cope with him and with my own emotions
