Merry Christmas to my Dear TEG Friends

[Carol Dee]

We did discuss our leaving time. Problem is he didn't/won't remember what we discussed. He will deny any conversation that he has forgotten and he forgets them all. I haven't tried putting it in writing. Just not worth the effort.

Today I asked him what my name is. He 'suggested' Marissa, Gloria, Vera, Mary, Norma, (and even Charles, although I suspect he was trying to remember our son's name at the time.) Went back to Gloria. He seemed to like that one.

Finally he slipped into the den to check the mailings and came back with "Linnae". Got it right that time! Not much chance he will remember it next time I ask, though. He remembers he loves me and remembers he needs to keep me close. That's about as much as I can expect for now. Only one way to go from here.

@Smart Red it is seldom that I am at a loss for words, but what can I say that will help your situation? Nothing. I can't help you. I can't cure your husband. I can't do one darn thing to make it any better. I wish I could. I desperately wish I could.

I can listen. I can listen when you need to let it out. I can listen when you can't go to family because they are too close to the problem and might not be able to understand. I can listen when you are frustrated. I can listen when everything that makes this wonderful man, is disappearing before your eyes and you just have to tell some one. I can listen.

Awww @baymule you are so sweet, you said that so well. And @Smart Red I am here for you too.

I think we are all here for you, but you may even want to get one or two of our phone numbers. I can't think of any of us who would not want to be a friendly caring ear when you need it.
(However, I bet there is not much time that you would be able to talk on the phone in private)
Hugs from SE Missouri, too.
