[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anything, dementia, Alzheimers and other neurological issues should compel us to live life with more vitality, love, passion, enjoyment and appreciation. I worked in an Alzheimer clinic and many patients were more of a burden than anything. I have learned to take the opportunities, have the fun and live in the moment. Aging is unpredictable. [/quote]

+1,000,000. This is also something to remember if your loved one becomes abusive toward you. Get the proper care and remove yourself from the situation. If it's a parent, this could be your fate. Rather than spending the next 5-10 years being on the receiving end of abuse, live your life with love and vitality. Model boundaries for your children and give them all the love they deserve. They can learn we ensure the safety of our loved ones, but we don't allow loved ones to harm us ever. I am writing out detailed instructions to my children if I too become a monster. There will be money to ensure I can get proper care in Memory care, but they are not to allow themselves to be hurt by me. I want them to know how much I love them and want them to be happy. If I become abusive, I give them permission to step away and just send me to a good memory care. If the memory care cannot medicate me properly so I am not abusive, I give them permission not to visit. The abuse can literally kill you and I will not do that to my own children.[/quote]
