Guilty from getting angry at mom

I can fully understand as I am right there with you. Some days I think my wife is going to drive me insane as all I hear are complaints and how mean I am and how can she get out of here. Some days I just go out to the garden to get some peace and solitude and then try to start the day all over again. I appreciate suggestions and support from participating in these communications and I try to read others comments everyday. To top things off yesterday, my clinic doctor (no family doctors available) rips my face off over the telephone as my blood test was bad and he accused me of making changes to my medications He finished up by telling me he was off on vacation until Sept 16th. I felt like I was getting it from both ends and lost my cool. After a couple of hours to get things together again following supper and a bit of TV we both went to our seperate bedrooms and got to sleep until the usual 4am wake up for my wife to go to the bathroom. "I don't know what to do?"is her comment. I get up to stay with her until she gets back to bed. Thanks for letting me unload but always remember you are not alone. We learn as we go along lifes way.

I sooo get it. We're not as far into the journey as you and your wife, but the complaints, the being told what's wrong is just driving me crazy, too. It's nearly impossible to remember that it's the disease, and not the person. How I miss my husband!! It feels good to unload sometimes.
