It's a matter of proper focus.
The problem with too many Alzheimer caregivers: They are too focused on themselves. They don't accept the idea that they are ill-suited for care-giving. That they do more harm than good. To themselves. And to their patients. They don't grasp what's really happening. Too many pity parties. Care-givers feeling sorry for themselves. They don't like being constructively criticized. And some of 'em think of themselves as martyrs. They lose track of their patients' best interests. It's all about them. Rather than about their patients. And how to provide proper care-giving. The needs of care-givers have to be addressed. No doubt about it. But first and foremost should be the needs of the patients. And how we meet those needs. That often gets ignored. Overlooked. --Jim Broede

The problem with you is that you take this information from the message board, and think you know everything about that person, from one or two , or even several entries. You don't even belong there anymore. Your "support" is completely un-supportive. You seem to be writing to impress someone, not to help us. You patronize the rest of us. Why don't you just stay here?
It takes all kinds of people. Interacting with each other. To make for an interesting life. An interesting world. I'll go wherever I please. And give my opinion. Just like you, lady. If there's any problem, it's with you. Open your mind, and many of your problems will magically disappear. --Jim
He is harmless, most of the time, anonymous. Most everyone knows him by now, and don't pay much attention.
