I have become just a lurker here on DU because the political scene in this country has become so soul-sucking, but your post made me want to comment. I, too, have gone through the dementia nightmare with my mom and stepfather, and it was a long, exhausting 2 year battle trying to do the right thing for both of them. They are both gone now, but I, like many others, could write a book on my experience with this disease and all the hurdles and difficulties involved. Thank God I had a husband who supported me the entire time even though it was mainly up to me to stumble through the process. So many of us have a story (or will have one in the future) to tell about this horrible disease and someone close to us. Thank you for sharing yours.
