Listen Later

Does this feel familiar: “I quit my job to care for him, but he never appreciates anything I do.”

Do you find yourself thinking, “Why is she so mean to me? Can’t she see I’m trying to help her?”

Are you asking yourself, “How do I handle the stubbornness? It feels like I’m fighting all of the time.”

You are not alone. One of my colleagues calls these behaviors “Dementia S&M”—stubborn and mean.

In this podcast, I’m going to untangle these "stubborn" and "mean" behaviors and provide some approaches that you may find helpful. You are not alone on this journey!
