Itsy - two things.

1. I would change my therapist. She needs to help you to find coping mechanisms. This board is really supportive, and is about understanding what is going on, not 'obsessing'

2. My dad died of Alzheimers, and in the middle phase he said the most horrible things to my mother and to us. We knew he was ill, but they still hurt, because the person we loved was saying them, but we had to learn to distance from them. MLC is an illness. Some don't recover, but what they are doing and saying is about them, not you. They are ill as surely as if they had Alzheimers, or a brain tumour, and cannot help A LARGE PART of what they are doing.

The only thing you can do is get on with your life. It is what we all have to do. Some will come out of it, and want to return, some LBS won't want this. Some won't recover. But you can still have a good life.

A friend of mine's husband developed early onset ALzheimers, at age 49. Nine years later he is now tube-fed, mute and almost blind. She is effectively a widow, who has had to make a life, bring up her kids and cope. not what she would have chosen either.

Find a support group or a new therapist, get it off your chest, and accept that you have to move on. Staying put isn't an option. You can do it, but it requires a huge effort.

Good luck, Angelica
