[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first issue is the dementia. Could you take her to a neurologist? While there is no way to stop it there are meds that can help. Anger, agitation, anxiety all are symptoms. Early stages can be rough because they seem normal, but they lose some of their emotions and rationality. I had a loved one like this -- in the early stage you could spend all day with them and it still wasn't enough. Also needed 100% attention at ALL times and would get jealous. Start treating her more like a teenager rather than an equal. Say affirming things like "I love you but I have to work, and you are going to be doing x while I do." What I mean is don't involve her in decisions, make them for her and stay firm, but amp the love bombing so she doesn't feel abandoned. Support group too![/quote] This is happening. I spend so much time and it’s never enough. Also the jealousy. When I cuddle my dog even! Why is this happening?[/quote]
