I need to have someplace where I can just vent. My spouse was diagnosed 6 years ago and can still hold a conversation, but with lots of pausing, and searching for words. I find myself very impatient waiting for him to spit it out and have to work very hard to not tell him to get on with it. I never thought I would get to this. It is incredibly hard watching the love of your life become someone who once strong, protective, and wonderful all around become someone I have to take care of almost like a child. I have to help him get dressed, shower, shave and help him with his food. I can no longer sleep at night as my mind cannot shut off thinking about what has happened during the day, what I have to do the next day and the future. I dont like the future I see in my mind and I know it is not his fault at all. He did not ask for this, nor have I. It is just horrendous. Is anyone on this post with someone that is at least 6 years into this and I dont even know what stage he is in. Its so frustrating, even the drs have a hard time telling you anything. You are just living in limbo
