@kjc48
At my wit's end yesterday I told my husband when he behaves like he was that I just want to hit him, but quickly added, but I won't hit you.
When that didn't work my frustration reared up and I started to cry, then he settled for a few minutes and actually apologized which was a shocker.
I will try most anything to try and change his behavior when he gets in a loop, and usually my efforts are fruitless, despite all the educational dementia caregiver classes I take that give excellent tips.
It is a lonely road we are on.
Hugs all around, group! 🫂

@judimahoney PS sometimes all that educational dementia caregiver training falls short to what you feel and know in your gut. And when someone hurts you and is treating you bad, we know what to say or do for "impact", especially if it startles them into different behavior. Best, Karla

@judimahoney Cry, now that works for me! and to get an apology to boot. That works for me too. Keep doing what you're doing and sharing. The pipeline of trials and tribulations are well noted. I have a complete folder of everything I'm printing out from this site, to help guide me through the day. Best, Karla
