My Dad has been gone since 2006 he was 79, Mom 78. He always pushed her buttons when she was not inthe right mood. I walked in on one of these little snits. Mom was so mad she was red. Told her she was going to have a stroke. She then said "when you take those vows they don't tell you when he is old you will be too and you don't feel like putting up with their s _ _ t anymore".
This goes for everyone after a certain age. We just don't have the stamina to care for someone else. Esoecially someone who has a desease so unpredictable. My DH, 74, dreads the thought of a NH. I have told him I make no promises but will keep him home as long as possible. Thats all I can do.
