The Caregivers' Guilt Dumpster - Open for business

I am so glad that you found someone to help and give you a break! Seven years is a long time. I’ll be praying it goes well. I am so sorry that your husband has spoken hurtfully to you. Such a change in nature has to be painful for you. I know how hard it is to forget that hurt. I have been reading some about trying to see our care recipients in a new perspective not subject to our expectations that are based on our past relationships, expectations that they cannot meet in their new reality. I have a hard time achieving it myself. Praying a lot about it. But please remember you always deserve respect and safety!
(And I totally get the shopping for the house outlet. My current escape is streaming FBI International episodes and FBI. 🤣)

@babbsjoy It’s something one never expected and in-between the outbursts he is normal again, of course he doesn’t recognize these outbursts. I wonder if it is the Aricept? He is now on two cancer drugs Lupron shots for the prostrate and a new one Nubeqa for the Metastasis who knows what side effects there are? He acknowledges that he is forgetful but I don’t think the word dementia has ever been said just like the cancer I told him the pills and shots are preventive measures. I watched my mother die of cancer I certainly don’t want to go through that again. Thanks for your kind words.
