Relationship issues in early stages
My LO has a history of Alz in family and has been being treated for MCI for the last couple of years. Decided not to see a neurologist after the first few appointments and seems to resent having to take aricept. I am feeling an increasing amount of insecurity, because I feel like they are starting to resent my care and questions. "have you taken you medications today?" Absolutely one of the best people you would ever meet and even with feeling this resentment, one of the very best people I hve ever met. I dread the time I am going to have to insist on no driving. I want to encourage them to continue to live fully, enjoying their activities and friendships. I guess I am struggling with something that will only get worse.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Yes, this is a hard situation in knowing what to do and when. I feel like there is always this tension between too much and doing too little. You are not alone in this. We have a lot of great resources on alzheimersdisease.net. I think if you looked around the site you might find some helpful content for caregivers. I raised two children and there were many times where I had the same feelings about how much to do. The main difference is that I knew they were progressing with each new accomplishment. Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Scott AlzheimersDisease.net Team Member
