    Well, I just wrote a very long comment – and when I hit Post Comment, it said that I had a duplicate comment…then I kept coming back and the comment would not publish.

    So…thank you for your post today! I really did need to hear this…I do give of myself – I love and give and am honest and faithful; but I have a problem loving my husband who has dementia – Vascular dementia – but seems to be getting worse. He speaks harsh and ugly words to me a lot, including saying ugly things about my daughter-in-law and granddaughter – you see, my son is his “step” son and he does NOT recognize his wife and step-daughter as HIS dil and gd as well. Not sure how that works because my oldest daugher is in the same shoes as my son – and he “seems” to accept them.

    It HURTS me to hear him talk ugly about them; and to say hurtful things to me…I usually end up lashing out at him and almost always crying – but away from his knowing he has brought me to tears.

    My prayer for the coming days is that I can show a more loving countenancee to him…

    Thank you for sharing your post; I have been blessed by this group of bloggers for Tue. @ Ten…

    May your Christmas be blessed and the new year awesome and all it needs to be!
