    It's so difficult living with someone who is emotionally abusive. It doesn't matter who they are or why they are abusive.

    It's difficult on a personal level.

    I hope you do not have abuse on you.....I have lived with many different types of it, and I am still standing.....lol....
    Not to be making any jokes......but I am strong and know you are, too.....
    Abuse on any level is no fun....the emotional abuse can be worse than physical abuse......

    Tell me about it. Mom remembered my dog Sunny every time we came to visit. She would ask where I was when I was sitting at the foot of her bed. Alzheimer's is such a cruel disease.

    My grandmother was like that. They said she didn't have Alzheimer's, though. I suppose she had another form of dementia.

    No. Why?

    Did your grandmother did not have Mad Cow Disease, Hotwater?

    I'd never heard of the 50 cent word but I did look it up.


    My grandmother was born at the turn of the century. She died at the age of 90 after having spent many years in a private nursing home, having never fully recovered from a fractured hip.

    The doctors said that the dementia was caused from "hardening of the arteries".

    No but there are only a limited number of neurological diseases which result in dementia and the human form of mad cows disease is one of them

    I read that it progresses rapidly.

    Poor Grandmama was off her nut for over 10 years.

    Grandmother had surgery to clean out her Carotid Arteries. I think she was having some sort of "spells" (TIAs) prior to that. I'm sure the surgery prevented an actual stroke but I believe the dementia only increased.

    It's difficult with emotional abuse because it can be a no-win situation. It happens because, at some point, it was accepted. But to start refusing the abuse can make it worse. One has to figure out how to endure it while trying to make changes at the same time.
