@pdraayer thank you for sharing and validating that it is a hard fine line to walk between independence, dignity and protecting finances, The disease is brutal. My husband can't separate out the disease and who he is and self deprecates when he sees me take responsibility. It's hard for me to sort out what he can't and can do as the disease is fickle at best until each day I get a wow which feels like a gut punch and I say to myself, Really? And then I tighten the reigns to keep him safe as well as our finances. Driving is being addressed now too. He is able bodied and scores moderate to severe with cognitive decline on the Global Dementia scale. It feels like there is no "us" anymore. I have so much decision fatigue. This little tome here feels like a journal entry, a safe place for me to feel seen and for me to see myself. Thank you for seeing me here.
