I know exactly how you feel - my hubby has never been the brightest pencil in the box and all the family saying to me that he’s no different to how he’s always been, has been no help, as he hears this and doesn’t think his memory is any worse but I will now tell him something and almost immediately he’s failed to retain it. I try to be patient but my son lives in France, so we seldom see him as he has French students to stay and his wife teaches them English, so they have little free time. This leaves just my daughter to help me - she’s a full time critical care sister and our grandson as Asperger Syndrome so her time is limited. I do despair sometimes but I’m better off than many but know I’ve worse to come.
