in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

it’s been 10 years since DW’s diagnosis. I used to be active on this site. At times it was a lifesaver. At times I received and gave good testimonies and advice. I may be shallow, but I stopped participating because I couldn’t tolerate those who dominated the discussion boards to proselytize and/or talk to their friends.
As awful as dementia is, there are bad actors out there willing to profit from misery. Don’t make hasty decisions and be extremely skeptical of for profit businesses.
