Hi Teresa,

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I have no idea how you keep going and being a strength for your husband. Its very hard to cut off from our children’s problems, but reading on this forum makes me realise that there comes a point where you have to take care of your own health and mental wellbeing. Watching your husband struggling with dementia is more than enough for anyone to cope with. I hope that you have other family/friends that support you. Sometimes just being able to get out of your house and have someone else cook for you is enough to recharge your batteries.

Take care x
