What is the best thing to say?

I can relate to what you said…happens so often in our day. My husband states that his memory is gone and everything is so confusing and he’s glad I’m here to help him….then when frustration sets in he tells me that I’m useless and good for nothing. It hurts but I try to remember that he’s sick….😢

Hello.
You obviously love your spouse. I was able to use that as a reason to accept how he treated me. I have learned that I am not able to always do that each time. My spouse has called me names that I will not repeat for no reason at all. He will get on the phone and be pleasant to other family members. He does the same with his friends. He is like a light switch that he turns on and off. He than will start blaming me or yelling at me for something that did not happen. I hope you are able to continue as you are doing now. I have been dealing with this since 2013. I am a strong individual but, after awhile it gets hurtful and tiring. 🫂
