You are so right. I feel trapped in the house. I have a friend who helps. I am so tired and feeling discouraged at times. My spouse is so difficult to even have a conversation with. You never know what will trigger him. I wish I had more then picking up yard trash, and putting trash and recycle out. Mail has to be addressed as well. He tells me how to do things. I let it go out one ear and move on. I have been doing everything for a long time. I am just tired. Like they say" the Long Goodbye". He sleeps more then he used to . Not pleasant at times. No thank you are how are you most of the time. Keep moving on.. as it is the only way to manage it.

@sillyblone you are a great example— i know you are tired— how could you “not” be? This is the hardest job a person can do…
I admire the love that you are showing…you are not alone my friend.
