My dad recently got diagnosed with dementia. Sometimes it’s had not to not take it personally when he is having abrupt mood swings and is having anger outbursts I have to keep reminding myself that it’s just the dementia and not to take it too personally and not to get upset. And it has also been difficult that my dad had a stroke three years ago. It’s emotionally draining to see him change and suffer knowing that he won’t be the same again. Every day is different. It’s also very painful to see him suffer. I just take one day at a time.
