Husband of 56 years with dementia who does not trust me. I am due to go on a course but he thinks I am only going to find a man!! I have shouted at him. He is having a bad non sleep night and this affects our ability to kerb frustration with each other. He does not think I have a life outside of caring for him!
Hi, Continue to post on here, as the above advice is so helpful. I’ve only been a member for a short while, and the suggestions etc. have been brilliant and I’ve also understood why someone is acting that way. I wish I was aware of D.T.P. many years ago, as my husband thought I was having an affair. I was taking elderly relatives for hospital appointments/operations and food shopping for them. A few months ago, he didn’t know who I was for a short while. He’s also told me, “his wife died a while back.” He reckons he speaks with a lady throughout the day. I said that was me. “No, you’re my wife, but I don’t know your name,” he says. Fluctuating memory issues. Asking the same questions over and over again....
T.P. helps me so much. Lovely, helpful people. Thank you so much.
