Hi Jannmarie, I can't ask my husband questions about finances ,investments, and buying a car. He doesn't understand and answers with a shoulder shrug.I have made major decisions by myself and pray they don't blow up. In my face. 😳

You need some relief from your Husband. Can anyone (family)
Stand in for you to get away from him a few days a week. Or maybe a daycare relief for Alzheimer patients? Just a suggestion. Take care of yourself, no one can replace you. So, where would he go if you could not take care of Him?
Hope your situation gets better soon. Hugs
