[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you.It helps to know I am not alone and it is sweet of people to defend me.

One issue is they adamantly refuse hired help for a long list of reasons. They can more than afford it and we can pay, but they will not allow it. I have thought of contacting the neurologist to see if she can help convince them to allow it.

Also yes the personality changes with dementia are hard to accept. It was especially helpful when the poster shared her story of what the PT observed. My mother is only at the very early stages, but my father is farther along. My mother is stressed and will be in credibly combative and nasty over minor things. It is helpful to think of what you were told. In my mother's case it's more the stress than the disease.If anyone else spoke to me that way I'd get away or get them into counseling with me (like if my husband were like that). I am going to set more boundaries, but I do get it comes from a place of fear and I am a safe person. It also doesn't sting like it used to. It just is draining walking on eggshells.[/quote]
