Long Story

DBern

Hi all, I am new to the online support group. My husband has both vascular and FTD. I was wondering if any other spouses abruptly left their family home during an illness that presented as psychiatric, but was later diagnosed with dementia after many unfortunate events, say 2 years. We finally had to place my husband in a memory care facility but is currently out of state due to the circumstances that led to that state. Also our daughter lives a few miles from the facility, and I visit often -monthly. It is very hard to deal with the seperation, but for now we have no other choice. This began when he was 65. Thank you!
