Oh no. New low

My DH as certainly been declining lately. Just now he asked me where our kids are. He says they aren’t here. Of course they are not. They are 47, 44, and 43 and all have their own homes. It reminds me of his mother who had Alzheimer’s and who called 911 saying the kids were playing in the yard and were now missing. I think we are moving fast now. I’m scared.

I would be scared too. Having someone you love change right before you would frighten anyone. I am so sorry you are going through this.

I am sorry you are going through this. It scares me too. I see my DH turning into his mother. As does he.

I know the feeling when a new behavior smacks you in the face. It’s so scary. Hugs.

I'm sorry your DH is progressing. It's hard to watch and hard to deal with and heartbrecking. My DH doesn't recognize our grown children. He still thinks of them as young children…when he can remember them at all. Sometimes he asks how his folks are doing. They have been gone for years but to him they are still alive. I try to make my answers kind and gentle so as not to upset him. Again, I'm sorry this is so hard and I understand the fear. Sending hugs.

With each new low or surprise I remind myself that it will get worse with time. Facing each episode as it happens, then preparing to face the next one, is probably a a good approach, but not always easy to do. Best wishes for strength and patience as you weave on down the road.
