I am so very sorry to read your words. People can be so callous and uncaring at times! No one understands the trials of being a caregiver until the have first-hand knowledge!
Do you have access to any home health care or groups in your area that help? It would be nice for you to have an hour or two off once in awhile. Have you asked any friends or relatives for help? This can be one of the hardest things to do but can be beneficial for you and your wife. Praying for strength for you!

In my case, I'm based overseas and fortunately we can source home health care at a very reasonable cost - it just takes time to find the right person. This will be the best solution for me as all my relatives and most of my closest friends are in the U.S. Some friends have recently moved away due to unfavorable developments in my host country. So it's gotten lonely.... I still hope to move back home but a lot will depend on health care options / costs as I understand Medicare does not cover home health care in particular, or dementia in general.

We are good right now and I know where I stand. Take off 4 hours or so every now and then
