Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I so feel for you and am experiencing some of the same. Wanting to be alone...do my own thing....not wanting to come home from doing my own thing. Walking on eggshells constantly. My husband had a fever 5 years ago, 107.3....had some delirium. Damaged some brain cells and his cognition is getting worse, temper is worse, short term memory is terrible and I'm blamed for his blow ups. I have family issues going on, in addition to this stress. Fortunately I have a couple of dear friends I can confide in distantly, but it doesn't help me at home. I guess day to day, is all I can do. Can be so frustrating.

I just listened to this song ”She used to be mine” that evokes those feelings that things have changed, and who I used to be has been lost a little.
This was written with a different focus, but a lot applies to this feeling that life has changed and a part of me went with it.

@ble13 I am sending hugs. You just wrote what I sometimes think….I don’t want to go home.
