@TeddyPersians So sorry you are going through that. Please seek medical help as there are things that can slow the progression. My mom went through it. Some lessons I learned that helped us both:
1. For him every time is the first time. He has no idea he’s asked you a question
1. For him every time is the first time. He has no idea he’s asked you a question
@TeddyPersians 10 times before so you need to respond as if it’s the first time he’s ever asked you.
2. Saying “don’t you remember” is a waste and will only serve to upset him. He doesn’t.
3. You have to go to wherever he is mentally because he can’t come to you.

@TeddyPersians 4. Whatever he says, just go with it. Mom talked once about our trip to New Zealand (never been) and how wonderful it was. I agreed and we chatted for an hour about it.
5. He lives in 10 minute increments of time. Your job is to make every 10 minutes as pleasant as possible

@TeddyPersians 6. When it becomes too much to handle, get help.
It’s not easy. But I hope this helps.
