[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am 16:25. I unfortunately am a close friend of somebody in your situation. She is raising 3 kids alone and caring for her husband. I know you are doing the best you can but there are people trained to care for people with dementia. You take time from you daughters to care for you wife. If I were your wife I would not want that for my children. Eventually you will need to put her somewhere.

There was and article in the Washington Post magazine about a women in your situation who got remarrried and they both care for her 1st husband, he is in a NH but they visit and take him to lunch. It is a great story. I feel this is still honoring your vows. I can't find the link right now.

It is such an incredibly sad situation.

What would your wife want for her daughters. A happy dad, holidays with a family, laughing and loving each other. That does not mean you forget your wife. You care for her and make sure she is safe in her environment. But your daughters need joy in their lives even in this sad circumstance.[/quote]
