As a caregiver I am always exhausted

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😍

My mother is exactly in the same situation with my dad, except that my dad doesn't have dementia. We haven't found a way to solve this in many years.

@jude5 it sounds to me like you’re doing all you can to make sure your husband is healthy and safe. None of us can control what dementia causes a person to do, unfortunately. Just keep participating in this conversation and you will get lots of help!
