It's fun when reading one blog leads you to other interesting blogs.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your situation with me. You certainly have some real challenges. So glad you have adult children that can help to support you. It's nice to know there are others out there that we can commiserate with. Thankfully your health is good (mine is too). The OCD stuff comes and goes, depending on the situation. Sometimes I think it relates to the level of anxiety. <br /><br />This blog doesn't have much of a following, but it has been therapeutic just to be able to write about it. Keep in touch Linda; I'll be following along on your blog too!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237805282007404140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268654142180590336.post-21722343847686064292016-04-11T18:30:51.770-04:002016-04-11T18:30:51.770-04:00Carole, Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I...Carole, Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I hope you will visit again. I've taken the time to read through the posts on your blog. Sounds like you are in a stressful situation. I don't have the space here to go into my situation but I stay very close to home. I've not spent a night away from my husband since 2009. I certainly can identify with being asked over and over the same question. My husband is also OCD and has always been anxious and worries a lot. It's a real challenge let me tell you. Some of it I've lived with for many years, some of it's new. Our children are a huge support. They understand their dad. I can't imagine trying to deal with it by myself. We're pretty open around here. It does take some planning at times on how to approach things. It took a while for me to come to terms with taking over the driving. Telling him he could no longer drive when our grandson was in the car was another hard one. Dementia is only part of Bob's problems. He's 84 and has many health issues. I'm 74 and have no health issues. I'm glad my health is good. I'll be checking to see how you're doing.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268654142180590336.post-88943345263020162102016-03-29T07:33:10.114-04:002016-03-29T07:33:10.114-04:00Thanks Jan for your words of encouragement!
