deal with caregiving when someone with dementia has been unfaithful
My husband of 36 years now has dementia and I found out 5 years ago he lived a double life. He sometimes has Faceblindness and gets confused like there are 2 of me. Some days it is really difficult but I am committed to staying and caring for him.

It's wonderful that your devotion has not been impacted, despite all that has happened.
May God strengthen you as you proceed on this journey.

5 ReactionsYes, through my faith and my belief in God has gotten me through. I am committed to my vows. He feels he dug his own hole and now the double life haunts him. We have a beautiful blended family and that makes me grateful for each day. All our children support me.

@scottrl Have you ever heard of this? The dementia has been like a truth serum.

1 Reaction@lulululu No, I can't say that I'm familiar with that.
Seems fairly accurate, in many ways.
