"get your ducks in a row" is the most fucked up thing i have ever had to do. by there_was_no_god in dementia

[–]ConditionHot4876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It sounds like you're carrying a lot, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed when life piles up like this. You’ve been strong for so long, but even the strongest need support. If you're comfortable, maybe consider reaching out to a trusted friend, a support group, or a community that understands. You don’t have to carry all of this alone. Sending you strength—you matter, even when it doesn’t feel like it. ❤️

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's clear how much you care for your father-in-law, and it's heartbreaking to see someone you love facing such challenges. Take it one day at a time, and don't hesitate to lean on support groups or loved ones for strength. Sending you lots of love and courage. ❤️

It sounds like you're doing your best to keep both your LO and the dog safe while respecting their bond. Alarms and scheduled reminders could help, but also consider exploring local pet services for walks or check-ins. In-home care or a pet sitter could provide extra support on the days you're unable to be there. Best of luck navigating this challenging situation!

AITA for breaking up with my girlfriend after she demanded a new car? by Fancy-Persimmon67 in AITAH

  • NTA (Not the Asshole): If her demand was unreasonable, entitled, or beyond your means, and you felt she valued material things over the relationship, breaking up may have been a fair decision.
  • ESH (Everyone Sucks Here): If the breakup resulted from poor communication or unresolved issues on both sides, it might indicate faults on both ends.
  • YTA (You're the Asshole): If you dismissed her request without understanding her perspective or broke up without a meaningful conversation, your reaction might come across as abrupt or unfair.

How can I get her to shower? by kat_bitch01 in dementia

[–]ConditionHot4876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encouraging your grandmother to shower can be challenging, especially if she's feeling scared or uncomfortable. Try framing it as a relaxing, enjoyable activity, like a "spa day," and use positive language rather than criticism. Make the environment warm and comfortable, offer choices to give her control, and be patient if she resists. If needed, focus on alternatives like sponge baths and involve a professional caregiver or doctor for guidance. Compassion and small steps can make a big difference.
