Trouble with believing me all the time. So I have tried to go about the answer in a different way even to asking why she thinks I am not telling her the truth. Make sure that it is worth it making her understand.

Remember @A myALZteam Member, they can not help the way they behave. Tell them you understand (or are sorry) why they feel that way and then try to devert their attention to something else. A walk, tv, book, game, coffee might change the subject right away.

Yes, constantly. Argues about everything I say.

Yes sometimes my husband does this. He'll believe everyone else though. For some reason they do this with the caregiver. If it's a medical issue have a nurse or doctor tell them and maybe they'll remember.

My partner doesn't believe me and she accuses me of saying things I didn't say, or she misinterprets something I say.
