@coloradogirl - My heart is breaking for you. I can't imagine how difficult this is. My husband has dementia but its just him and me. What you are going thru must be so much more difficult. I've started seeing a counselor. It is a huge help. Are you getting any kind of support for yourself?

I appreciate your concerns but fundamentally, I'm okay, just stressed and a bit overwhelmed. I have considered returning to therapy but honestly I am not sure that it would be that big a benefit and it adds another weekly commitment that I don't have time or energy for right now. I spent years in therapy addressing child trauma / PTSD issues and at this point, I have good coping skills and a strong network of people that I can reach out to when I need support. Thanks again for your concerns and I hope that your counseling relationship continues to bring benefit to you.
