OK I appreciate my son and his wife. The fact they came back to Florida to be with me and DH is great. BUT...... DH is starting to obsess on things. Like things left in the yard by the kids or laundry in the laundry room. Once he gets started on it he just will not let it go and he goes on and on and gets more fustrated and angry. Usually I can handle it by telling him I have taken care of it and changing the subject and than he goes onto something new but if I am not home, I work full time, they get it. Than I get the calls about him yelling at them or the kids for one thing or another and he does not understand that they will take care of it or have taken care of it or are in the process of taking care of it. Whatever! I try to explain that he obsesses on things and to try to get him onto something else but they don't get it. So I am constantly feeling like I have to take sides. I have to admit sometimes he sounds more like a child than the kids. He is starting to progress and I can not get his GP to give me the referral to a new neurologist. He can not seem to get his records from the old one. UGGGG! Trudy
I am assuming that your son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren moved in with you and your husband. I am about as sure as I can be that they had no idea what was involved.
Alzheimer's Disease is so complex, all consuming, and difficult to understand, that trying to explain things after the incidents just isn't going to work. They are going to need a full-scale Alzheimer's education in order to understand what is happening to your husband's brain and how to deal with it. I would suggest calling the Alzheimer's Association 1-800-272-3900, and asking for family counseling or a support group for the family.
