Either live with it, we all know that is not possible or, except it and move forward. The damage is done and although it seems like an overwhelming mess, I can change that.
The oddest thing occurs to me. I guess I thought that those who are suffering from the disease would have been more compasionate toward my wife. I appears that those who are suffering are so aware of what they are suffering from, they are able to offer the most insightful information.

This is all great insight
you have gained, malapp1!
Just glad we could help! And something has occured to me in reading through (even my own post, lol! But you know how it is... sometimes in writing things out, they clarify situations in which one's own knowledge is not being applied to one's own situation. It made me aware of one I am not applying in my own life -- a boundary/accountability issue with someone.) Soooo, thanks to your bringing all this up, we all gain!
And yup! We can be full of surprises!
Much
and please keep us posted. I think you can make great strides.
Not always easy, but worth it!
