Hi Sunta, Can admiral Nurses help to take care of your husband so you can get the care you need? They can be found on the dementia website.
Thank You so much DollyClaire for your helpful and timely suggestion. Things keep changing and not for the better. It’s incredibly hard to hear your own husband accuse you of lying and stealing his things. I know intellectually that it is the illness and not his fault but it still really hurts. Meantime I have to work to stay calm and take care of his every need. On the verge of tears this morning I was asking myself how he could possibly be treating me like this, like a stranger. Then it dawned on me, maybe I am a stranger! I gently asked him if he knew what my name is. With a cruel sacrcastic tone is said ‘well I always thought my big sister’s name was ,,,,!” He got the name right but he didn’t know me as his wife. This has happened before but today felt different. He carried the apparent hatred towards me over from yesterday and kept it going today. It’s truly horrible.
I don’t even know why I’ve written all this. I guess I just needed to get it out of my system!
