My husband is angry several times a day and I try my best to stay calm. No one else in the family wants to deal with him. He is occasionally incontinent at night and gives me a hard time about wearing pull ups to bed. He insist that he doesn't have the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm at the end of my rope with him.
He's really a big teddy bear but, with his mind gone, he often relives his days as a fighter and, frankly, he's dangerous to both staff and other residents. Restraining isn't allowed here in Canada but in time he will have to move to a facility where they can handle him. He's such a sweet man in himself. It's sad.
Call the Alzheimer's Association in your area. Ask for a counselor and tell this person what is happening. These counselors are available 24/7. This person will give you strategies to use in communicating with your husband.
This help is worth its weight in gold. Best of luck to you. You are doing the hardest job that exists today in our society.
