My husband’s mom has had severe Demetria for the last 4 years. Although we have been together for 7 years, we just got married last year. He moved his mother into his house he had from his first marriage. He runs his business out of there. Although he has caregivers daily, he is with his mom everyday and spends way too much time with her. It’s silly to say but there’s a part of me that feels jealous how much time, energy and devotion he gives to her. She views me as the “other” woman since she struggles to remember if he is her dad, husband or son. She’s rarely nice to me so most of the time he spends with her is without me present.
I try to tell him that he’s out of balance and I feel disconnected, but to no avail...
(one of the main reasons I dislike the reply feature is that the replies are buried somewhere on the thread and often no one ever sees them)
i will say that after reading some of the replies, I almost didn’t want to reply. I’m amazed at how unsupportive people can be on a support forum.
thank you to those that acknowledged my feelings.
Yep, sometimes another person can get thru. Glad he is trying. Hopefully he will realize Mom is safe and that there r other people that need him. Caregiving brings so much guilt with it.
