Me, I would move him to MC, you can visit him a couple times a week and the rest of the time spend in peace.

Over the years you have taught him how to treat you and what behavior you would accept, toxic as it may be.

I can assure you as his dementia worsens so will his abuse. Not my rules just how it works.

Go to Agingcare.com the posters will enlighten you and help you make some sound choices for you, your well-being. Statics say that some 60% of long term caregivers die before the patient!

Take care of you!

@cmael Before you run to a memory care unit, continue to work with your husband’s doctor. Ask about resources in your community. Does your husband go to adult day care? Maybe the extra stimulation, both mental and physical, would tire him out. Do you keep the house quiet and non-stimulating in the evening? That works so well for me when I can’t sleep at night.
