You definitely have a right to your opinion! It's my Dad's choice to share his story and talk about his FTD with the hopes that it helps others that might be dealing with the same thing he is. As far as me talking to him as a child that's what works for him and he doesn't feel that way - we actually talked about this last night and he feels that I talk to him like a teacher and it helps him understand things better. As for making money for doing this you might want to gather facts first before making such a bold comment. We make no money doing this - we are doing it to educate others and show his progression. I hope you can find peace in whatever it is going on in your life before attacking someone else for doing what works for them in their life.

That's very interesting. I will have to do some research on that. Thank you for sharing!

I am truly sorry that this video upsets you for whatever reason; however, I do know how much my Dad understands and how he feels and hence why I say it because it helps calm him down. You are only seeing a few minute snippet of the situation. I hope you find peace and comfort in whatever it is that you are dealing with in your own life so you don't feel the need to lash out at others publicly because you have to own opinion and feel the need to try to shame them for what works in their case for something personal obviously going on in your own life. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Ps, Dad is so lucky to have such a wonderful family support system . What an amazing loving family .

I agree it hits everyone so differently. My Dad went through a phase where he was very apathetic too at the beginning. He can sometimes still be like that with somethings. But typically with me he is really happy go lucky. I try and work with him constantly to keep him busy and his mind active. Thoughts and prayers to you for having to deal with this with your husband. I can't even imagine.

He says thank you! Thoughts and prayers to you for having to go through this with your husband.

He ran out and didn't say anything until he was completely out and of course he didn't have any refills and had to wait on the doctor and it then went into the weekend. There is a plan in place so it doesn't happen again.

@@richardsjourneywithftd Thank you for explaining. I have a loved one with FTD also, but symptoms are different for the most part.

@@CMR497 no problem! Sorry to hear about your loved one! Yeah it can impact each person so differently. Feel free to reach out anytime if you ever need to talk.

Yes this video was taken about a month ago. We are going to try and do some videos a bit more frequently.

I am sorry to hear that! Just take it one day at a time. Here is a link to a lot of great resources - www.theaftd.org/f2023de_/?Google&CPC&Ggl_Ads24&GeneralSearch&gclid=Cj0KCQjwu-63BhC9ARIsAMMTLXRkjczCHAtjPzw7MPIZXt9mffLibo2g7VTnrb3OwEEoJ8i8eRZoUO8aAnJ9EALw_wcB

I am so sorry to hear that! Feel free to reach out to us if you ever need to talk or have questions.

It's definitely not an easy disease 😭.

Hi , sorry just wanted to ask if your husband is taking any sort of medication to help with moods etc ? Thanks in advance

@terrymckay3002 Yes, he's on antipsychotic because of delusions that the drug helps to control. It was terrible until we got the right meds. We're cruising at the present, and he's really tried to talk to people at our table. It's been good to see.

Sorry for the delayed response! I haven't been really active on RUclips for the past year due to becoming a full-time caregiver to my Mom and helping with my Dad part-time. So sorry to hear about your husband. I am so glad to see that you are living in the moment and keeping him active by traveling.

@richardsjourneywithftd I hope your lot are doing well also. We know the end result, but we make their journey the best we can.

You definitely have the right to your opinion! My Dad and I actually just had this conversation last night and he doesn't feel that way. He feels that I talk to him like a teacher and he is able to understand things better this way. Different things work for different people.

So sorry for the delayed response! I haven't been really active on RUclips due to becoming a full-time caregiver to my Mom and still helping with my Dad part-time. When he was first diagnosed he was very angry and didn't know how to handle it because he was forced to retire early and wasn't allowed to drive anymore. Then one day it was like he just accepted it and has the most positive attitude and is accepting of it. He has gone through so many different stages though and we talk about it all the time to try and normalize it so it makes it easier for him to cope with it!

Thank you for answering. Best wishes in your journey.

I am so sorry for the delayed response! I haven't been really active on RUclips for the past year due to becoming a full-time caregiver to my Mom and still helping with my Dad part-time. I just posted a few new videos of Richard. He is holding strong. We are going to try and get in the habit of posting updates again on a regular basis because this past week for World FTD Awareness Week I posted videos on Facebook and didn't realize how many people were watching them and the impact it had on others to know they aren't alone in their own situation. Thanks for asking and watching!

I just responded to your other comment. How is your husband doing?

I just responded to your one comment. Please feel free to text or call me to talk since it sounds like you are dealing with the same thing we are. My phone number is 216-509-1798.

I just responded to a few of your other comments.

So sorry for the delayed response! I haven't been really active on RUclips since I became a full-time caregiver to my Mom and still helping with my Dad part-time. Feel free to share my Dad's post in any way needed. My Dad wants people to know more about FTD and share his story so people know they aren't alone in their own situation.
