He wants to see my list
I've been concerned about my DH moving into dementia for 5 years. It's been slow but seems to have speeded up. I keep a journal of behavior changes I've noticed. So, yesterday we had The Talk. I handled it very badly although I'm not sure what a good way would be. (We've talked about the possibility before but he doesn't remember me ever broaching the subject. He doesn't remember refusing to take a periodic cognitive test.) Now, he's very angry and feels exposed and abused, like he's under a microscope. He wants to see my "list". I indeed have a list, based on the ALZ warning signs, which I've carefully edited in an effort to not hurt his feelings. But I can't quite see the productiveness of giving it to him. He will argue each and every point. He will misconstrue my intentions. We will fight. He will fume. But I'm not convinced he can read with an open mind and consider the possibility. Should I give it to him?
