Moderate dementia

After years of falling, stuttering and memory problems I was diagnosed with moderate dementia
My husband can't handle and/or accept my diagnosis. He is an alcoholic and he can't help but argue with me, yelling
Has anyone else feel this way. I am n o with 70

    Sorry to hear of your situation. You may want to check into your State's elder protection law or dial 211 on your phone.
