Hi jhviv
Hi jhviv:
Don't worry about venting what you're going through, this is what we are here for, to share what we are living everyday with this terrible disease.
Like you I've suffered my husband's insulting me, and like you I vented out my feelings on this same thread.
The advice of these wonderful people here have helped me a lot, I think I am getting used and now I can manage the situation.
My husband can barely talk, but nothing I do pleases him, like you I am a 24/7 caregiver I had to quit my job to take care of him, since neither my daughter or son could help me take care of his dad I don't have parents or siblings.
I am completely worn out, the other day my daughter came and he told her that I had gone to sleep for three hours of course that wasn't true, if he sees I am closing my eyes or that I am sleeping he waits for 15 minutes to go through and wakes me up, to give massage to his hands, at night he wakes me every half an hour to turn him on his side, nothing hurts me more than his insulting me, when he's in a good mood I can handle the physical stress in my body.
I think you have to seek help for you and for him; I once in a while remember my husband that I have to be healthy and physically well so that I can take care of him, that to make him conscious that being negative and by attacking me he's only going to make me get sick and he will have to go to a rest home.
Ask God to give you strengh to go through this.
Sincerely,
