Hi @kdo0827 and @kathymcl - I'm going to echo what @IndianaScott said - it takes all the love and patience you have and sometimes even that is not enough to keep you from seriously considering a name change! (LOL... Scott you made me laugh.) It is sometimes just heartbreaking to have to face the losses - like not knowing how to get phone messages, not remembering the way to the mall, etc. My husband was an engineer and seriously, at this point, I'm the one who has to figure out how to change the bulb in the refrigerator when it burns out! But for what its worth, someone once told me that no matter how much a person forgets - words, directions, faces, names - they always remember what it feels like to feel loved. I try to keep that in mind and act in a loving way whenever it's possible. Not that I hit that goal consistently, but I try. For me, sometimes a touch is easier and more effective than words - just a pat on the back, a squeeze of the hand, a shoulder rub... @kdo0827 - Is there anything particular your mom seems to focus her anger on? Or is it general? Sometimes, if I can identify the stimulus, I can either remove it or redirect my husband... Best wishes to both of you!
