and healing for both of you. First, take the idea of crushing his meds into his food seriously. Neither one of you needs the stress of fighting to give him his meds, which battle is only going to get worse. Second, please find a support group with which you feel comfortable, whether in person or online. Counseling is helpful, but so is support from those going through the same things you are. Third, PLEASE remember to take care of yourself. You are going through so much right now. Check with your insurance provider, the local senior center, or your church, if you are a member of one, for respite care providers. They are a true blessing.

Fourth, someone is always here. Lean as hard as you need.
