My condolences to you CC. Only 3 years of battling dementia but I bet it must have felt much longer!

Dealing with my dad and his dementia I've been lucky with how it affects him. He's been easy to deal with but the hard part is how it affects my mom. I never realized how much anxiety she has until my dad was no longer the calming force in her life. I commented to my wife about how my mom has been so bad with her anxiety for the last couple years and she pointed out that it's only been 9 months.... I'm getting the hang of it though and hope I can keep up!
