Denial is not just for Egyptians

@murkywaters not too bad. Once in a while there is out of character anger, tho. He gets fixated on things, and one thing that brought out his anger for a long time before his MCI was discovered was my own therapy. He would badger the holy heck out of me over it every time. We have fought over it so much and I’ve brought it up over and over during cognitive appointments that he has let it be. The other day, visiting his family for Thanksgiving, he took a call in the middle of a visit, speaking loudly, I tried to get his attention to go in the other room, he stormed out, then came back afterwards and pointedly ask me, in front of everyone, angrily, what he did wrong? So out of character and sad. I was really hurt. So just that kind of stuff. It’s so hard to get past strange new behaviors, isn’t it?

@lkbous I think I need to find a therapist. Any suggestions?

@lkbous Does his family know of his diagnosis?
