Hello, my DH was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about a year ago. He still cares for himself (dressing, bathing) but is dependent on me for everything else (tv remote, financial, meals, everything, constantly asking questions). He has not driven in over a year but still insists he wants to renew his license. He does not seem…
We moved my mom out of her house and into AL near me back in April. She was not emotionally ready to let the house go, so we have not tried to sell it yet. She occasionally talks about moving back there someday, but of course that is never going to happen. However, I think it makes it easier to accept her current…
Today was so horrible. My DH has Alzheimer's. This morning began with him thinking that is Mom was still alive (she's been gone for 20 years) and that I was moving in and trying to take over her house. No matter how gently I tried to tell him that it was mine and his home, the angrier he became. I don't believe he would…
My mom was starting to show signs of Alzheimer’s but she refused to admit it. I was doing all the work when she needed help or forgot things and finally had to step back for a few months so my brothers would step up. Now they see how bad it is and after a 2 am phone call they see she should not be living alone. The only…
My husband was 58 and just diagnosed July 1 with Alzheimer's. We have been very frustrated with the care and support from doctors. He took a test at he PCP's office and did not do well so they referred him to the first neurologist available, who does not seem to have a lot of clinical experience. He ordered MRI, Flexi…
I don’t even know where to begin. I’m just looking to vent and feel seen as I feel most of my friends do not understand and I have no family. My dad is 84 and was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia about 4 years ago. My parents divorced when I was young and I have 1 younger sister. When dad was no longer able to live…
Some days I just wanna read posts here and benefit from the sense of community and of understanding. As dad declines and my heart breaks, sometimes I just don't want to be around people who can't understand the things we do and see with our LOs. Maybe I could write a song called tears in the parking lot for those of us who…
Hello everybody! My dear spouse recommended I write about my recent feelings in here to vent, maybe get some more insight. I am 26 and am the main caretaker for my mom for about 5 years now since her Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2022. Her main "team" is myself, my spouse, and my best friend who moved in with us. I realized I…
My oldest sister told me she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a month ago. I know she's had mild memory loss for years, but she hid it well. It still seems mild to me, but I've never known anyone with this disease. She calls me to tell me that I never call her, although we speak frequently. When the conversation starts, she…
My Dad was a narcissistic man my entire life so far and now he is in the nursing home for PT from a back surgery he had at the end of April. Since his surgery, we have discovered he has had multiple strokes, he has been delirious and he has vascular dementia. The surgery took 8 hours and with all of his other issues such…
