Our Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson disease journey...emotional divorce

 Emotional Divorce....I was asked if I feel like I am in an emotional divorce. Well for one I hate the word divorce. But I had to stop and think about this. Yes, things are really different now. Hubby is like a roommate who doesn't talk except to grand kids where he grunts mostly or to visitors. Son took him out yesterday and said dad was pretty good and talked to him. But to me...mostly just sets no conversation....or he can't hear or comprehend the words I say. But then there are days that it is better. Mostly he does just set and I do other things and entertain myself. Never even thought of it as a divorce. Yes...I get upset sometimes but I am fortunate to have grown kids I turn to. They help...understand and care about both of us. But as far as an emotional divorce or any other word about it....not in this home. We are together until death do us part....I am not trying to be a saint or anything ...we just took our vows seriously and our kids love us both and the grand kids are there for their grandpa....and so am I.
