From experience, you really can't reason with them. They are in a totally different world of thinking . I couldn't tell my husband he had dementia. He was in disbelief and threatened to hit me if I said he had dementia one more time. As far as putting your LO in a facility, in some cases it's the right thing to do for both of you. Its heartbreaking for sure. Hugs to you. Its a very stressful situation.

It definitely tests your patience and it's hard cause you love them. It's like dealing with an adult toddler lol.

It absolutely does and I'm not even in the thick of it yet. I live two hours away and I also absolutely could not handle her living with me. She and I butted heads well before this Alzheimer's plus I have a husband and I can't do that to him.
And you are correct about having time to yourself. I vent to my husband all the time and sister AND a therapist. We all have to get this off our chests. I also have been educating myself as much as possible to tread through these uncharted waters. It is hard and will get harder. I wish you well cause it sounds like you live with her?

So hard to try to convince a broken brain of our reality. I gave up on that approach with my husband because it agitated him. Perhaps some of her paranoia could be alleviated by medication. Perhaps check with her neurologist. Sending support.

Hubs is a blamer too, and definitely in denial. Choose your battles. Some aren’t worth the effort. Hope you catch a break soon.
