I get the name calling and verbal abuse quite often. My husband has dementia so it’s pointless to lecture him him. He won’t remember. It seems to happen more late in the evening when he gets tired. I put up with it and try to ignore it, until it builds up and I yell back. All that it accomplishes is for me to let off steam and get relief for awhile, and give me a sore throat. He’ll forget quickly and becomes affectionate, telling me he loves me. It’s not so easy for me to forget. I’ve been giving him CBD/THC gummies late in the day. It helped for a long time. Now it seems to wear off sooner.
