So glad I read all this today! We all need to vent once in a while or I think we would just blow up at an inopportune time!
My husband has MCI - though he tells the doctors he's fine, knows what's going on etc etc - which to some degree he does. But he works very hard lately at putting on that image the few times we're out - I call it his public image. He is declining and it's getting more and more frustrating on a daily basis. The difficult side of him has become more pronounced - and more upsetting. Some days I can't stand it. Fortunately I still work so I have a bit of an outlet. Like elliottw - I too think about making plans where I don't have to deal with all this - a peaceful, fun trip somewhere, just me and my dog. So thankful for this site where there are people who understand.
