Hello and hugs:
I remember reading a post on here and the wife mentioned it was a privilege caring for her husband, and I wrote back that I did not feel that way.
Yesterday I was so upset with my husband I was yelling at him, and said some things I wish I could take back. I did apologize but still feel awful. It's like yelling at an innocent puppy. I hollered that I don't like who I am becoming, being upset or angry a lot.
So, yesterday I made a doctor's appointment so I can get a referral for a therapist. I do not want to end up with an ulcer.
All the best to you. 🌻

Thank you! I think one of my big problems is that there's no one to talk to. I have four close, long-time friends. One has severe dementia. One has moved away to be closer to her daughter because her husband has dementia. She doesn't talk about her situation. Two are widows and I know consider me lucky to still have my husband. Complaining about one's husband has always been considered bad form in our group and it seems disloyal. I am in a rural community and wouldn't know how to go about getting a therapist. Please let me know how that works out for you.
