@1995victoria I have found that as long as my hubby is calm and happy, i just let him do what he's doing as long as it's not hurting anyone. Yes, distraction is always helpful as well, especially when he gets upset about something or someone that isn't there, but in HIS mind it IS happening. It's no always easy to distract him especially when he has his mind set on something, but I just do the best I can, and that's really all of us caregivers can do.
Keep hangin in there

Thanks for the reminder. My husband is in the early to mid-stage stage and can, at times, be pretty cantankerous. He feels that no matter what I am doing, I am at his beck and call 24/7. If I don't stop and pay attention, he gets angry.
