Being contented

Early on in this process I was given a book called Contented Dementia written by a woman in England who was dealing with her mother's illness. She makes a lot of great points and the book is worth the read. I find the only time aggressiveness appears is if he is made to feel inadequate. For example if I get upset because something has been put where it doesn't belong he gets aggressive because of the implied criticism and perhaps rightly so because in the larger scheme of things what does it matter. The disease certainly points up what is important in life and what isn't.
