trying to be patient
I also feel very guilty when I lose my temper, it's trying to remember that he isn't doing it on purpose. I get very upset as he seems to be quite selfish and doesn't seem to care about my feelings any more, but then I suppose this is all part of the disease. He does make up for it on his good days!
I feel for you as my husband was diagnosed a year ago with dementia. Like you I am new to all of this and have recently "buried my head in the sand" Yes doctors seem to just shove it off. The comment I got from my gp "you have an interesting time ahead of you"
Gee thanks!
What I would like advice on is how to stay patient and not lose your temper, because frankly, I do and then feel terribly guilty afterwards.
