My husband did this for awhile, but gradually this behavior went away. Now he is worried about his stock accounts, every day he wants an accounting of everything. I print out reports (he has lost his ability to read) and give them to him, he looks at them for a second, then says he will study them later.

Contented dementia is a great book 5yrs in but everything changes as the years go on so you need to change how you think...good luck m..

What confusion that must cause you and your dad. Maybe keep the letter as writing how he felt maybe the only communication abilities he has. Sad we all experience the pain of this horrible disease. Very helpful to me. I'm borrowing maybe my husband can do the same? Writing his feelings? Thanks for sharing

It's so sad an hard to know on times how to react , its good we can find comfort in writing on here how we feel knowing that carers on here know and understand how we are feeling some family members ask how you are an when you say how your day going if it's not good they change the conversation X
