Charlotte, I share your same resentments. Before ALZ, he never treated me right. Yet, I didn't want to leave. He never was honest with me from the beginning. I was continually telling him good people have no respect for a man who runs his wife down. I worked so hard, so very hard for us to have a life, vacations etc,Yet even before ALZ, he was always running me down and complaining. Some people believed this crap and were really rude to me. Yes I resent the fact that I gave him 24 years, I kept on working hard and caring while he stayed the same with no gratitude for all I did. Now there is just apathy from him. There will never ever be a thank you or I am sorry for hurting you or gosh, you really did work hard. He was like a bottomless pit sucking everything I had physically and emotionally out of me, and now this. Still demanding and his family seeing all my shortcomings I am so resentful of:you should have done this, you should have done that! I am a reasonably intelligent person and the only feed back I get these days is you SHOULD have done this and you should have done that. I resent this whole mess=I resent myself and him for the whole 24 year mess. I feel used and abused--and I resent that I have not one friend left who calls. I am so angry and full or resentment, at one point I had a life and it's gone.
