Dementia

After 53 years, I've finally figured out that my mom is a narcissistic. She's so ungrateful for the things she has. And she's purposely mean to the people what want to help her. She think that if you don't think the way she does that you're stupid. Literally! She's also developing dementia which increases her outbursts. While I'm glad that I am several states (in the USA) away, it really bothers me how she's treating her health care aide. She texted me tonight about how my mom went off on her for leaving the lights on. All I could do was tell her not to worry and that I'm sorry she did that to her. My mom is 90 and needs a lot of help. She's going to lose the help she has if she can't show that she's not grateful for it. I can't keep doing this. This is the second time I had to arrange help for her because she fired the first person who really cared about her. It is awful to wish that she'd pass in her sleep so she can't keep hurting me or anyone else? Sorry for the long post...thank you for reading if you got this far! 😢

I’m anxious because my husband announced he wanted to resume sex. He lives in memory care. He couldn’t help most of his disastrous behavior. He was so angry and ugly and cold towards me in the last weeks. I have 0 desire to have sex w him. He’s improved enough to know what’s going on. The courts and his psych hospital told me he would need. 24-7 care now. So I didn’t bring him home. Where is the world do I go to for this problem. Sometimes I’m afraid of his quick mood changes. Any council would be appreciated.

Hi, my name is ToussledHedgehog87. I'm here because I’m caring for my 80 yo mother with dementia.

This afternoon I am taking my sweet dog to the vet..she is 17-ish, I have had her for 15 years. She's had tracheal cough for several years as well as canine cognitive dysfunction (dog dementia). She's not been doing well the last week or so, though overall she is so far from who she once was. Hours of wandering and pacing. This week enthusiasm for eating has varied.

I just lost my other canine soulmate three weeks ago. I am a broken, sick, isolated person to begin with; my babies are literally the only loves, motivation, and joy.. I have felt myself slipping further away the last few weeks and while I'm not certain what will happen today, I know either way it will be soon. I know that I, too, am on my last breath, if not today, Soon.

I have been living past my capacity for pain, physically and mentally for a LONG time. To my core, now and for decades, I am exhausted. I am hopeless. I have no fight. I am alone, genuinely.

I'm not sure why I post this here, as in the end, even well-meaning, good hearted, authentic people and responses are still just posts on an internet forum, kind and appreciated but another reminder of how empty my existence is and how alone I will always be.

Love, hug, and appreciate the hell out of your dogs, cats, any other pets. I wish they outlived us.
