As a caregiver I am always exhausted

Hello @jude5 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It sounds like you’ve worked very hard and now both of you are worn out by the sickness and caretaking. Have you thought about hospice? They offer many things to help suffering patients and families.
Are you asking for advice on what to do next or just finding out what others have done?

Finding out how others handle someone with dementia. It’s just the nasty side to me that is hard and stresses me. It’s like I don’t know him. Accuses me if being controlling and I tell him one of us has to have control as he does nothing and mostly can’t. But he does love being waited on. When I encourage him to do a small task he’s nasty but when he actually does something he feels useful.
I always think if this was me I would want to do something even if I do it wrong at least I tried.
Am I wrong? If so let me know all ideas please.
Thank you😍
