Angry

NMF

I am private but on this site I have opened up more than I have anywhere else (I still don't post often). I think because everyone here is dealing with related issues and also because I don't see the people here on a day to day basis, so if I say something wrong or odd I won't have to see and deal with them tomorrow (although I would like to meet some of these people and have coffee or whatever and just sit and talk, they are in a strange way some of the best friends I have). All of our journeys are different but yet the same, so exact staging is difficult. My wife is I think late stage 6 touching into 7, but yesterday she was early 6 (some days they surprise you with a good day). I guess what I what to say is keep coming back and say or ask anything you want. I don't think any of us are professionals, but the people have what an education can't give you, experience.

I don't participate in the usual social media because I'm relatively private, too. However, I feel completely comfortable posting here. The members have established an environment that is safe, where you can say what you might not say to anyone else, and there's no judgment, no criticism, only empathy and support.

This is my first post. I find myself angry often. My husband has both alz and copd. He doesn't accept that any thing is wrong, that he is ill. I identify with those who say it's like having a four year old in an adult body. From someone who rarely had anything to say to talking all the time. He curses about everything thing and goes around muttering damn damn…l am finding your comments helpful.

Does anyone have any experience with respite care?
