With Alzheimer’s this is not a personal behaviour towards you! If he is upset, angry, critical or even aggressive it is because he is upset, confused or frightened and it manifests in negative behaviour. Our loved ones lose the cognitive ability to explain how they’re feeling. Once reassured he will be celery and happier ... we have to learn to become good detectives!

I have gone through the same thing girls and it is no picnic.BUT , one day someone handed me a QTIP and said Quit , Taking, It , Personally . After that , I had Q tips lying all over the house to remind me . It is not my loved one , it is the disease talking. Worked for me . Give It a try. Can't hurt.. I will share with you that my husband would pick them up and clean his ears out. Those ones, I had to replace. LOL.😁

I once was told that they are not giving us a hard time ,BUT that they are having a hard time . We can't even imagine what they are thinking or what they are feeling like with this dam awful disease.

I understand every word way too well. Sending you huge hugs. You've described exactly how I felt all the time. Not so much now. Thank God. Alzheimer group support helps me a lot. Don't give up. There is help out there. So hard to ask for it. That's why it's there so you can use it. Keep writing. It helps

The disease is incredibly devastating and robs them of judgement. I think somewhere inside they realize how they are losing it so they will take it out on you. You are the closest and you can still do the things he or she want to do! FRustrating and hopeless for them! I try to be strong but I still cry a lot and I try not to take his behaviour personally... but God only knows how human we are. Ruby remember you are doing your best. God bless you and give you strength. Hugs for you.
