Reply #7: I was

[Raine]

I took care of my father who had dementia for 3 years. It was the hardest thing I've ever done and even though he's been gone now for two years I'm still trying to get back control of my life. My world was taking care of him and I put my own life on hold. The rest of the world moved on sometimes I feel like Rip Van Winkle. I searched out some internet support groups. It was a BIG help being able to communicate with people who understood exactly what I was going thru. A BIG :hug: to you cause I know you sure can use one.
