Just need to write this as I know you will understand. For the second weekend our grandson has been working so hard to help clear our garden that has become so overgrown, a job I could no long ignore although my husband was very against anyone doing it. He has mixed dementia and apart from feeding his birds there is little else he can do without help but these days he doesn't usually attempt anything. Last week he got so cross when I made any drinks or food for our grandson and said that was the end of our marriage and he would have to go somewhere else. I tried to remain calm, saying the job just had to be done and so be it if he had to go. Fast forward an hour and he was full of apology and things back to 'normal'. Here we are again this weekend and the day started well, grandson arrived and to my relief all was well. That was short lived and a repeat of last week started. This time I said nothing but just took myself upstairs to do some ironing. Came down about 30mins later to find my husband was not about. We live in a village so got in the car and did a loop round but he was nowhere to be seen. Just as I arrived back home a neighbour appeared and said he had just found him along a footpath and he was on the ground. I couldn't believe how far he had got as his mobility is not good. Fortunately no injury and he is now sitting in his chair and keeps dozing off, to be expected after his ordeal. He recognises our grandson but doesn't realise who he is. I have to remind him each time so I think he is imagining that I am getting bit too friendly with another man, although he is obviously years younger than me. I am finding the situation so difficult to deal with but fortunately our grandson is very understanding. I hate conflict so this is really upsetting me. Sorry to go on but just had to get this off my chest. Feeling guilty that I didn't handle things better although at a loss to know what else I could have done.
