Hello all,
I have come to the end of my rope here. Husband is so uncooperative and rude. He refuses to wash hands. He refuses clean sheets more than once every 4-6 weeks, his room smells. He licks his fingers instead of washing hands. Every surface in the kitchen is sticky. He has now taken over three rooms in the house that he does not want me to even see because they are such a chaotic mess. Sprays feces in the shower. I could go on and on. Latest is not good to wash vegetables or produce because he likes eating dirt.
BTW I have an autoimmune disease. My diseases include Ehlers Danlos. Syndrome, a degenerative disease, my pain level is high and my joints are weak.
Hello out there...just biting the dust here....

If he becomes violent you call 911 and tell the dispatcher you are afraid for your safety.
You also need to look into placing him in Memory Care.
Discuss this with the children but don’t give in if they try talking you out of it. Your other option would be to hire caregivers to come in and care for him.
I would suggest talking to a lawyer well versed in Medicaid to see how this would work for you. Your husband will only get worse.
