My anxiety came to this last year. My husband is diagnosed with lewy body dementia. He is not the problem. Ow. He is like a 4 yr old child. My children are an issue. A year ago they were talking on a phone call. One of the two daughter in laws made statements. One for example was I can come to dr appt if Jeff is unavailable. Daughter chimed in I am not comfortable in you doing that. And other comments were made to the other dil. So result is daughter is not talking to her siblings and their spouses. I was able to grt away for vaca. She did come stay with her dad. But didnt speak to anyone here. She lives 4 hr drive away.
Since then her kids have a concert coming up. There were two One on a thurs and next on following tues. I didnt want to tell her a week was too long for her dad to be gone so I hemmed and hawed. Finally she said whats up. I replied I was nervous to tell you a week is too ling for your dad to be gone. You get upset. Why, is he gone downhill. Why cant he come. Do u need me to come get him? Is it the drive down! On and on. She refuses to accept my answer. I am nervous. What if something happens there. He would have to go to er. He freaks about doing that here. Here he knows our small clinic and hosp.
So long story short. Daughter and husband called me after I sent each family a text. Saying I cant do drama and conflict anymore. Told me I word vomited on them??
I am now on blood pressure meds. I have never had any issues before. My body cant handle the stress.
Again questioning then resorting to what do i need. How can we help. We hear in Your voice u r struggling.
Call with u r not coming we dont sweep issues under the rug at our house. So I dont know if leaving to see other kids concert or not.
I do feel b p meds working. I dont feel my heart racing.
I still have some trouble sleeping. But working on that.
Thanks for listening

Hi Bobbie!
I'm sorry to hear about your husband's issues. That's too bad. However, you love him no matter what happens to him. So let him know that and I'm sure you do. Your husband needs you totally now. Forget the kids! Stay home with your husband and your blood pressure will calm down. Let the kids visit but only if they are friendly and polite to him and you. Saying a few prayers will help also. God's always there for you, if you ask.
I wish you both the best. I'll say a prayer for you and your husband.
