It's like 8 yrs for us. I have not been angry with Clyde, just the hurt I feel for him.Hes so sweet normally, he does get upset, so do I. I cry for us both. But we're still close, & love each other, he says a lot,, Sorry. He has been through so much. And comes back still loving me.. Sometimes I feel sorry for me, but perfect is not in our world.I know he has a good heart, he tries to do right. So I can try too, not saying. It's all roses, but I still have him, after him almost not making it with Cancer Surgery.. 66 yrs & counting. Married too long to go without him...When I'm worn out I cry & pray,,, blame him, me & everyone. So.... Who knows what's next.. love to all

Six years since my DH was diagnosed. I still get angry sometimes, but not so often anymore. Time brings a new normal and more acceptance.

I know how you feel. I constantly hear myself thinking about how angry I am at him for all the things he can't or won't do or does wrong bc he can't remember how to do things or where things are or go.....and for the millions of reasons he tells me there are for why he can't or won't do them. The days spent sitting in front of the computer doing nothing but flipping through videos! The questions. The paranoia. The physical issues that are constant. The lack of empathy or appreciation for all I have to do by myself now. It's a lot to deal with....not to mention facing mortality , our own and theirs.

Certainly no one will ever tell you not to seek therapy. It's important and helpful to sort out the reasons for your anger and help you cope with your own anxiety or depression. But you also need to cultivate supportive relationships for yourself. They're so important. Friends, family. Even just having lunch with them or having a facetime conversation can help you keep going.

Stay strong. The anger is perfectly normal. He isn't the same person you married!! He can't be there to take care of you, and as a caregiver, most resources focus on the needs of the patient. It's understandable that you might feel alone or isolated. Your stuck at home taking care of him while the world and all your dreams for your future have been irreparably altered.

Try to remember that you're not alone and he can't help it. Just saying that to myself when I get angry or impatient helps me calm down and refocus. Also reaching out here or to someone in your support network helps too.

55 years for us - good for your 66 years🤓. It's sure not what it could or should be - but it is what it is and I try to do my best every day ( doesn't always work). Hubs wanted to drive yesterday: I had to say no, no license or insurance. That hurts - but the slump didn't last too long. Yes - life altering for BOTH of us.
