Here's a new twist on things: my wife said to me yesterday as I was leaving, that she missed me. She said it again several times as I didn't answer her, and I eventually said I missed her too (but apparently not enthusiastically enough), to which she responded "You don't miss me!" I did remind her of the behaviors which led me to place her in Memory Care to begin with, and she produced a rejoinder like, "You're being mean!" I can see how she would want to come home, because her roommate isn't as highly functional as we had first thought, and the food there isn't very good. There are apparently a lot of high functioning individuals there (one of them ate dinner with us last night), but Carol won't take the initiative to try to meet any of them. I don't want her to come home, because she'll be so anxious about where I am all of the time that I'll become virtually homebound myself. Her personal hygiene isn't very good, and she shows little interest in doing anything. How does one handle being "guilted" like this?
