My grandmother who had Alzheimer's lived with us for a few years when I was 11 through 12. My parents would go on weekend vacations and I would be left to care for her and give her shots. She wasn't violent and never yelled....she was much like a child. She "felt" younger than I was at the time but didn't look younger of course. There was YOUTH in her eyes and expressions though.

It takes a very special person to care for our elderly and some are very difficult. I personally cannot STAND screaming and yelling if it's a constant thing....makes me jump out of my skin and have panic attacks. (Probably due to the screaming in my childhood). It makes me feel so small, powerless and stuck. I wouldn't be able to handle what you are enduring right now. But it does sound like you've found your calling in the care giving world and I wish to thank you for your service. If it becomes too much for you, please recognize this and take the time off that you need to remain at your best. ((((Hugs)))
