I find myself increasingly frustrated with my spouse; I know, in my head, that the anger, horrible comments, etc. are due to Alzheimer's.  However, it is hard to deal with day after day.  Then, I feel guilty as, internally, I am mad or hurt. Most days, I don't like this person.  It is a wicked cycle.  Input as to how you have handled this.

I hear you trm, in fact I could have written that. I am grateful for the fact mine can still do his own shower, toilet, dress himself but the mean attitude just drives a knife in my heart. I don’t know what to do either.

Thanks Crushed when I get it done I'll post a picture. I never really was allowed in the kitchen, because I can burn water, but now if I want to eat li am practicing, the apple crisp is gonna be served shortly. I do mac and cheese from scratch if that's such a thing?

I had turkey pot pic via the mc yesterday, they do home cooking here, but your pie got me wanting more.

I hope to be able to do more, I want to work up to my dw cheese cake. 

I want to say hi to Jeri welcome to the forum and we all learn together, trm yes it is horrible and very trying.

My mother told me to learn how to cook and marry a Doctor, so I did .  
DW could not cook a lick
DWs mother found out I could cook and said

 " we have to keep him otherwise our daughter will starve 
 Cooked for DW ever since

Great fun

Crush: Thanks for sharing the recipe! Looks yummy.

I can't cook in the kitchen any more. DH has developed some weird disposition whenever I'm in the kitchen..."don't use so much paper towel/dish soap... the kitchen is all messed up... who's going to clean up the kitchen... no! not another pot/pan/spoon/... " So I gave up. Hope this phase will pass soon. I can't keep eating restaurant food.

Dio, could you use a crock pot? Maybe plug it in in a different room?

Dio I totally get " tired of restaurant food" we ate out almost every day and had Waffles or Bagels everyday for breakfast. Now when I get invited to eat some home cooked food I don't say no.

Crushed, thank you for that fine recipe. I made a copy and will definitely make it after Thanksgiving.  I usually enjoy cooking and baking, unless the day goes awry. Taking DH to a restaurant becomes too much of an ordeal.
