Title: BPD, Alcoholism, and Dementia Post by: martillo on April 26, 2020, 09:57:19 PM Anyone dealing with a LO with BPD and dementia? DH is active alcoholic, strong BPD characteristics (no diagnosis), many health problems as a result of not taking care of Type II DM diagnosed 16 yrs ago and now has signs that lead me to believe he at least has a cognitive disorder if not already early dementia. It is so darn sneaky though that sometimes I think I am the crazy one (his alcoholism and probable BPD have told me I am the crazy one for years - LOL) Any insights would be helpful.
DH's mother died of Alzheimers so I haven't shared my suspicions with him because he was horrified by what happened to her and I don't know how he will deal with a potential diagnosis. I am exhausted trying to deal with it all at this point. I used an alzheimers online support group when his mom was still alive as I was her primary care giver the last year of her life. I have posted about this there, but since we don't have a dementia diagnosis, it is hard to know what to share. |
