88. Damn right it is exhausting!
Sun Jun 7, 2026, 10:46 PM
15 hrs ago

Wife at 81 has her irrational rage attacks, paranoia, people she can't identify talk to her in negative ways, want her money, want her out of the house, etc.

No money in the world would entice me to look after someone like that if that was a going job, but she is family, memories, etc.

Make the best of it.
Get rest when you can.
Put photos up around the house of better times, of relatives, etc.
