It’s almost as if he has been torturing me until I finally said that I can’t take care of him anymore. My husband has always said he knows what he’s doing and is playing me??? He has always had his own way his whole life, and maybe acting “crazy” is his way of getting his way!!! What do you all think?
And for me, I have team around me, instead of just myself.
All the best to you!!
And, people with dementia may seem better on some days than others. That's quite common, but, they still have the condition and it still means that they are very ill. I think that since the damage is in the brain, we sometimes don't appreciate how real it is, like it would be if it were a mangled leg or broken arm.
I recall back when my LO first started acting odd. She was quite demanding and wanted to lie in bed and have diaper changes. I was dumbfounded, since, there was no reason for this. I couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until her dementia progressed, that it all made since. I wish that I had seen what was really going on, at the time. Even her healthcare workers didn't recognize it. They just though that she was lazy, since she was relatively young at the time.
