I'm so sorry Anne.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Anne, right now? You're being very helpful. Get through tonight, the next moment, engage drs and go from there. Right now, your mom is in a safe place, with you.
It's scary seeing our parents vulnerable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In my experience people with dementia can be mean in a way you wouldn't have previously thought them capable of being.
This. But that doesn't make it any easier to take.

Thank you all. I'm just hoping I can sleep tonight.

No, it's worse in many ways.

I'm so sorry, Anne. Hope you can sleep tonight, too.

There's a cat doing donuts attacking tail on my carpet. One guess as to who.

Oh, Anne, I'm sorry. Your poor mother. I hope you can help her, and that your father can get some help so that he's not so miserable and mean.
(I don't know how my father put up with it for so many years, my mother was so horrible to him for so long.)

Hubby used to sleepwalk--or sleep interact--and it was years before I realized that's what was going on. I told him once what he said to me in that state, and he nearly broke down in tears. He swore that didn't believe that of me, but I was never able to shake the idea that some entity in his brain couldn't have said it if he'd never had thought it. I didn't tell him anything else, I'd just say his evil twin had been by.
