It is very difficult for all parties involved. I (as a patient) am not in control of some of these things. I as well mistake what is being said as confrontational and will either lash out or go to my room. I feel stupid after. Sometimes it will linger with me for days. I cant let it go because I didnt want to hurt my wife’s (my blessing of a caregiver) feelings.
We are starting to notice this more and are working through it best we can. We know it isn’t going to get better.
We do know that we love each other.
I always tell her that it isn’t anything she did or said. It is the disease.

Shaking you up is definitely a normal response to this. It shakes me up as well and I’m not on the receiving end.

Have you worked with your neurologist and / or psych doc on this?
They were able to give us some advice we are pouting into play daily.

They might be able to help you too.

Peace
