in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

My DH is in the same category. Honestly, the repetitive questioning drives me crazy. I constantly pray for patience. Sometimes I don't answer my DH and a lot of times I remove myself and go to another room to regroup.

    I am so sorry for you, my wife does the same thing, and frequently it’s about a hallucination thought that occurred to her. I too pray for patience, and it is tough. I know I should always remember to simply redirect the conversation, but it’s hard to always do the right thing. I wish I knew a way to help but I don’t , good luck, hang in there. I know there are many in our same situation.
