The those of you who haven't seen the whole film, Carla was for many years a dental assistant in Gary's practice. They developed a relationship and married much later in life before he became ill, but at the time this was filmed, Gary had pretty much forgotten all of his recent history. So, to him, Carla was still just his colleague and not his wife. Gary also had a new lady friend, a fellow patient inside the clinic (you see her briefly in this clip). It's really sad, but Carla did what she thought was best for her and best for Gary, who comes across as very content with his life in this film.
Wow! I actually thought Carla was the one with dementia, until I read your post!
Was it the old lady in the black?
@@beautyns12 He actually had 2 lady friends, one of them being the lady in the black, yes.
@@venessaabrams8687 Curious...why would you think she's thenone that is unwell?
@@lillithsternin7428 he's stronger in his speech.
wow she looks like she is so much pain
Please don’t judge this woman unless you are experiencing or have experienced what she is dealing with. My husband has advanced dementia and I never knew the horror of this horrible disease until now. Everyone handles difficult situations differently, but that doesn’t mean that one is right and one is wrong. I know this is an old RUclips, but there are people facing this decision everyday! Please send your prayers, not your condemnation because this is one of the worst things anyone can experience.
Having first hand experience also, I fully understand what you are saying. Dementia is such a strange illness, entirely unpredictable, but it destroys individuals and sometimes families. What people need to know, is that dementia can result in changes in personality akin to extreme long term drug use. Nobody should be judging her, thats for sure.
I was questioning Carla but then I saw the other videos in this series...
True 👍🏻👍🏻I know.❤️
Only true love can set you free from this "curse".
It is like a death without dying, the worst part of all is that sometimes they stand up from that death and you have a short moment with them in life as it was before.
That was the hardest part of all for me.
Your selfish thoughts get the better of you and you want nothing more than the person back from ever they are, when they return to the plaines of dementia.
You don't leave them at all they're somehow already gone😢, that realisation came to me after a long time and that fills you with the sadness she describes oh so well. 😔
That's what I meant with a death without dying💔
Yes it is.
I would never ever judge this poor lady
My husband and I have been married 55 years this June 2022. He was diagnosed with stage 4 Alzheimer’s Dementia last October 2021. I do not recognize this man as the person I married his attitude has changed so drastically. He is arrogant, condescending, and narcissistic . He is always right I am always wrong. We as caregivers are suppose to overlook the loved ones behavior but when you are with this person everyday 24 hours a day you tend to loose your self confidence. I stay strong and talk to my wonderful friend she is my life line. My daughter, Son-in-law, and three amazing Grandchildren live in a neighboring state to far away to just drop in and help. My daughter is suffering the guilt of watching me go through this pain. I know this is part of life and at 75 I will prevail! ❤️
You are resilient ❤
Stay strong. My father has vascular dementia 76, my mother of 75 is taking of him for now at home with my brother and sister and I helping out where we can. Alas he is no longer the man we all once knew and I don’t know how my mother is sticking it. With a bit of luck it will end soon for him and for all of us.
The way he hugs and kisses her shows how underneath he does remember her. His body still loves her as his wife.
It’s heartbreaking
Or he is bsing dementia to get some new po on while he can still get it up 😂😂
From what I remember, she was his dental assistant for years before they actually started seeing each other romantically and married later. So, my guess is that he knows her as that: a friend, or colleague, but not his wife. It's sad, really.
She seems like she does not enjoy the attention at sll
@@TheBreechie well it is difficult,he has a "girlfriend" there.
@@TheBreechie of course it’s brutally painful for her to even be around him dude wtf do you have empathy lol??? Imagine someone you know and love, then tomorrow they are still there on earth, still existing and physically healthy. But they have no idea you’re married, they don’t remember any of the emotional bonds you made on a tangible level. It’s all a blur and you’re still sitting there will full memories and emotions. It is brutal emotional pain beyond comprehension if you have not experienced it
People are going to think she is cruel for giving herself a new beginning but until you’ve been a caregiver for someone who is not in this reality you will never understand the mental and emotional burnout it causes.
My father in law was with his wife for over 30 years. He took care of her until the end of times. And he was someone that I never thought would ever care. This woman doesn’t really understand what it means through sicknesses and in health. It’s also life. She needs to be there no matter what. But hey. What do I know. I only lived it first hand. And seen what true love is all about.
If this happens to me, I want my wife to move on. Sure I hope whenever one of us stops forever that the other will be there, but to make her suffer that for so long to me is unthinkable. I've told her that if something like this ever happens, I love her no matter what she chooses and the opinion of anyone else that judges her for it is below mine.
@Teela Tequila I don't think we are in disagreement. I never said she was right or wrong to do this because I don't think either of us have a good idea of how he is or what that does to her. We just don't know what that is like. The fact that he was in some form of assisted living suggests to me that someone more qualified than either of us decided he needed to be kept there regardless of his preference.
I personally think I would also choose to stay by my wife if this happened. I know that's how she feels too. The point I made was that if I become so incapacitated by something that I no longer comprehend the world clearly, as I am now I would want her to find a way to be happy and not feel guilt about it. For me that is part of taking care of her.
my mum passed away 9months ago with vascular dementia, the last 3yrs of her life was in a care home, there was days she got our name corrrect until she stopped remembering names altogether, it is heartbreaking, we would show her photo albums hoping she would recall someone, in the end she made no sense whilst talking to us, we allways spoke to her as a mother, not an ill person.she was visited everyday in the home, although she no longer knew us, she was still our mother, she would have been 89yrs old today, so today we were at the grave with baloons and flowers.iwish one day they will find a cure for dementia.
This makes me all kinds of sad.
Me too.
True, it's hard 😔
I know this is kind of off-topic but it's so creepy having Betty hanging out in the background like a jealous stalker. I know she doesn't know better and has clung on to this man like he's hers but it must be so awkward for his wife. I totally understand the wife's bitterness though and the feeling of having to let go because you can only do so much. I'm sure she still cares for him and checks in on him but she needs to take care of her own mental health as well.
Lost my Mom to alzheimers. The single most difficult, heartbreaking thing I've ever had to witness! This is a pain like no one knows unless you're in it! God bless the people and families who have to travel this same rd.. I pray God gives you strength, courage, and patience.
My Uncle who is "Special Needs" after suffering from Brain Damage due to a Drunk Driver also now has early stages of Dementia. He's in a Nursing Home and he'll talk about "Dad" coming to visit although My Grandfather has been dead for about 15 Years. He can't even leave the facility under any circumstance because he gets lost and forgets where he is. It's heartbreaking but you take it one day at a time.
I worked on the dementia ward. I will always remember the wives/ husbands, family who were there until the end❤ I've seen so many people go without seeing anyone in their family or even friends. It's very sad.
Yes and it’s the most helpless part of this job.
Real love sticks around. This woman truly didn’t love him.
@@ericasant84 Get real, he was sleeping with two other women and didn't even remember she was his wife. You don't sacrifice your mental health and self-respect just to stick around for someone who's perfectly well taken care of without you and doesn't even acknowledge you as anyone important in their life.
Carla is obviously a beautiful, caring & loving Woman with so much strength to handle all of this as well as she does xx
I am in the same boat as this woman and never have I heard someone sum it up so perfectly and concisely
I certainly respect her . Her husband's brain is slowly dying . So he is essentially not the same person she married . Eventually there will just be an outside shell of that person . The walking dead . I guess if you are religious , you might figure that you might be re-united in heaven .
I feel sadness too abt my husband's illness. There's abt 45% of him left....he has lewy body dementia parkinsons. We've been married 28 yrs.
Never give up on the ones you love
It must be truly heartbreaking to lose a spouse in a really close ,healthy relationship. It's a transitional part of life. It's especially fifficult, if one doesn't have much family. That's the hard part of life. It's always changing.
I work in a dementia unit until you have experienced it yourself and seen how it affects family you dont know. dont judge her this would have been so hard for her to do xo
My gran dad had dementia and it was really hard in his last few months as he didn't recognise me I miss him so much I always felt he was the 1 person I could talk to about anything
Exactly.
Brooke Wyeth I work there as well. They break your heart sometimes
Brooke..SO SO TRUE!!!! Its absolutely heartbreaking..all around for the family
Exactly not only have I worked with patients but my grandfather struggled thru this its tough
So sad. God Bless
God bless this lady..
so sad 😢
I've worked with these people. Just to make some things clear. I have seen men relive their experiences in a concentration camp. And I have seen a lot of women of 85, suffering from full on dementia, that were giggling together when I came in. Like shy schoolgirls. The family are often the ones that suffer the most. It's strange, even when they experience their partner of parent happy, they also get confronted with the fact that they don't know them. Also it becomes quite unethical for some (their reasoning, no right or wrong) to share their lonely feelings with that partner.
So when we're accounting for full on dementia. You either have a complete stranger, almost no use visiting them over another stranger down the hall. Hope the person is at least happy. If the're unhappy, it can feel good to just help someone just like with other strangers. But I have had family members that never visited again, and their relatives being happy.
Just hold into account what loneliness is. Family members that are loosing or have lost their relative feel it every second. Feeling lonely for a day and forgetting it the next is something completely different (which I experience very often, because of a brain issue).
I am where you are. I totally understand your decision. Do not judge yourself. Our lives are so short and you have many things in front of you to enjoy. Smell the roses girl!
It's not so much about enjoying life and more about getting rid of a part of your life that is just causing endless pain and suffering. Moving on doesn't mean you'll be happy, but at least you'll be _happier_ which makes all the difference.
My Husband has Vascular Dementia,he is not really sure who I am,40years of marriage gone.The hurt is real,what am I?just a carer,no longer a wife,If you have'nt walked in these shoes,you don't know loneliness and desperation.
Better to have loved and lost?
I just found this. It's amazing that Carla was able to be so realistic with the situation she was in. I'm sure she has cried many, many times over the loss of her love. She was able to accept this and thankfully was going to keep going.
My grandmother on my mom's side suffered from dementia for more than a decade, and I accompanied her on some visits and I can completely understand Carla's mentality. As she said, it gets easier every time from the point of view of the relative, but it never gets easy. It is worse than having lost someone to an abrupt death, because you feel like you need to do more than you can possibly offer. But at the same time, you realize that they're not completely gone yet, so there's a tiny bit of solace within you that keeps you positive.
If you have not personally cared for a dimentia patient long enough, do not even comment. You have no idea what you r talking about!
Heart breaking really, it's a tough call. I just don't know what I would do.
Yeah, you accept it, but you don’t t desert them, Jeez! Til death due you part. I believe in that! We all should.
After this I'm in desperate need to watch Louis' interview with Korton the extra teresstial : ( : )
I had a real nasty accident years ago which wiped out a lot of memory of my family, and even though they're still in the area they've moved on without me, because we're strangers to each other. Every time they would visit me, or I would visit them, it was very uncomfortable. It's just better off this way for both of us.
What family like brothers nephews?
sounds like a shitty family
They should have tried to make new memories with you, as if they had just met their long lost relation. I mean kids in the foster system who find their parents later start their family relationship late in life.
Miss my dad
I feel so sad...but I will not leave my husband...I will continue taking care of him....
I would not ever leave my husband either..He Left when he passed and I have never cried so much.
it's easy to say in the moment, but when the time comes things become very difficult.
Catalina Ortega your are exactly right. My heart broke when she told the gentleman she was moving on😔 didn’t wedding vows say for better or worse ...
Catalina Ortega You are a strong woman, And a good person
@@marlyndavis1367 If you watch the entire documentary, you can see that she implies him and her never really had a good relationship prior to his illness. She said she was kinda always his pal, never really a lover. Something on the lines of that. So that may have played a roll in her maybe not sticking around til the end. Idk. Just food for thought.
You can see the pain on her face..
What an outstanding woman to have endured for so long. Many spouses wouldn't have. Yes I can appreciate her decision. God understands her heart.
I went through it all and never gave up. I just lost my husband and I am missing him so much.
Linda, may God bless you! I am so sorry for your loss. We are now going through this with our mom, but we refused to put her in a home (that will kill her for sure). Mammy was living with me, until my sister decided that she wanted to take over caring for her. She is with me on weekends, as she NEEDS to be with my 8 year old. My two brothers also have their rolls, as do my 22 year old (all the grandkids really). We know that day is coming, as we watch Mammy become a shell of her old self. But, only together we can do this. Like you, we plan to be troopers and let her live her best life NOW!
Greetings from St. Maarten 🇸🇽!
Teela Tequila to people that didn’t know her well, my mother seemed alright, too. No one knew the decades of history, the psychosis, the decline, the middle of the night visions of dead people. No one would have suspected that she forgot her own home, thought she’d been kidnapped, threatened to stab me before she stabbed herself. No one would have suspected that she’d been committed to an extended psych residence. “She seems so normal” people would say. But she floated between reality and an alternate world. She might be normal on Monday and on her way to the prom on Tuesday. And eventually her decline was unstoppable. Please do not make decisions based on a three minute video. And please do not ever, ever judge this woman. Unless you’ve lived it, you have no idea.
Wow true love
All these makes me cry. I do not know if I can manage if a person I love undergoes this. Am convinced I need euthanasia if I am diagnosed with dementia.
Same
Same
I worked as med student in dementia ward - with 6 ladies and 1 man. It is really unbelievable what the family goes through. But in the end, some times, those people are no more. Their personality, humor - it all changes/vanishes completely, it is no longer "the person"
Carla appears very strong in a difficult situation. I get the feeling she does not like Betty or maybe Betty is too intrusive. I can’t imagine coming to see your spouse and another woman, or women, pushing in on your time. The results of this disease is terrible, but at the same time fascinating.
It’s very sad losing a family member to dementia
This just reminds me of my grandma...
this sickness is rough . my grandma has it and ended up having a minor stroke and is paralyzed on one side. she thinks im her nephew at times. will ask the same question about three times in 5 minutes. best you can do is be with them aand bring up old photos. thankfully she had kept all of them labeled and easy to find in books . we brought them to her rehab and got her one of thos cool tablets that look like frames that have pictures that will go on loop to where we can upload from home as well
I’m sure this is incredibly hard on a spouse. Obv she had a loving past with him and will always hold him in her heart, but for her to try to force a non-existent relationship is impossible, it’s very fair that she decide to ‘move on’, she can live stress free while still occasionally visiting and showing that she cares about her husband
Kinda cruel how she just wants to leave him like that(I do understand where shes coming from)
I work with dementia people as a carer and it's so painful to see how lonely they are without there love ones!
The worst case of dementia we got is a lady who does nothing at all she cant walk, talk, feed herself or anything she just sits there and stares in to space
but as soon as she sees her daughters, son or sister come though the door to see her she just lights up she smiles and she even tries to talk sometimes though you can't understand her at all and she looks at you sometimes when you say her name.
I know if I had dementia I wouldn't want to be left alone I would want someone to see me
It's also kinda cruel to think she shouldn't be thinking of herself too. It's no doubt very painful for her to see him involved with two other women in that home as shown in another clip. Believe me it's painful for both of them and more so for the ones who will remember it. Every case can be different and you literally see a few minutes of this one so who can say it's cruel in any way other than those that know the specific situation?
Disgruntled Turian
@@partyblue9 She's disconnecting because the man she knew and love is gone. He's disappeared. He no longer recognizes her as his wife. That's what this disease does. It robs you of your memories and identity.
It's painful for her to sit and watch him look at her like a stranger. I totally get that. Why would anyone put themselves through that emotional heartbreak. Yes he's alive but for all intent and purposes he is not the man she fell in love with.
Hes also being intimate with two other old women in the facility, its a messed up situation
That is disturbing. I would like to think I could love someone enough to care for them as a stranger. Maybe that is a spiritual thing though. Maybe it even leans masculine since a lot of what it is to be a man is to be a rock, provider, or defender and so when the mind is gone the man is gone. Maybe the largest part of what you loved is gone? Ideally I would like to get to a place in my life where there are contingency plans for things like this that would enable both partners to live happily.
I’m in the same situation, my hubby has a lady friend in his Dementia Unit. I’m able to visit and spend time with him, some days he’s lucid but mostly he’s not my Carl anymore. I have to ask the nurses to move the lady on when I’m there as she tries to take him with her. It’s so heartbreaking and emotionally so hard to see your husband being cuddled, kissed and held by another women. He asks to take her with him when I take him out. The guy in this video has two ladies.
Brutal...
I had a grandmother with dementia. My grandfather knew what was happening to her from the beginning. He kept her home with him until she died. Then he kept a lamp turned on for her 24 hours a day. He told us it was for her. When my dad was dying from cancer, my grandfather was the most helpful person to my mother. Grandfather died one year after dad died.
We were with my Dad until the end . Funny Dad conversed in French and English and never forgot his army number , Dad died in his sleep, poor blood circulation .
So sad.. Such a horrible disease.. And to watch it happen to a loved one..
Poor woman :(
I kept having to stop one from going out the front door and she kept insisting her car's parked out there. I had to take her mind off of it and tell her it was getting serviced and she relented.
Oh my Lord that is my husband. No filter.
Noon be knows what she put up with every day in their home.My husband is completely different when other people are around.But then he always was.
Where can you find full Louis Theroux episodes?
My girl knows if this happens to me she can move on. I wouldn't want her to suffer.
What’s really heartbreaking is seeing how uncomfortable Carla is when Gary kisses and holds her. At one point during the documentary, Carla suggested that their marriage wasn’t that good, due to their age difference, and Gary apparently being a rather angry individual, and since being stricken with dementia he has apparently “mellowed” out. So it’s like she doesn’t want to get attached to this “better” version of Gary knowing that he won’t be around much longer. But she’s still there for him anyway due to her unconditional love. I can’t imagine being in her position and having to be that strong.
This is a tough one but I would hope my husband wouldn’t give up on me so I wouldn’t give up on him. I just can’t see it
Very sad
For better or worse, sickness and health….
My mum has it.
Lets fight hard for a cure folks ...this could be any one of us
horrifying to those of us with ALZ to know we can be "put some place" to not bother our families, it's comforting to our families or partners or caregivers.
the lost look on the face of the gray haired woman, breaks my heart.
we can't complain, we have no laws on our side, we're filmed to show ?
Proper environment is 80% of help for us, most of us will not have it. We are forgotten.
That old creepy stalker lady hovering around my husband constantly whether he remembered me or not would be awful and extremely disturbing. Especially too because that woman is like 20 years older than him! (at least) I'm very sorry for his wife. I hope she's moved on and very happy now!! She probably does (and always can) drop in and say hello from time to time. It won't make a difference to him.
The old lady has dementia too remember. None of them are in their right minds. Imagine how her husband feels.
Passar os comentários em português!
I don’t know...I couldn’t just up and leave someone that was part of my life just like that and leave him. It’s not his fault!! For better and for worse?!!! Move on?!
it depends some people with dementia get very aggressive
Typo difficult
I think the part that is so sad is that he was looking so forward to seeing her and he was very affectionate he kissed her and he tried to display that she means so much to him. Psychologically and emotionally she has moved on, the interesting part is he's making conversation and trying and making jokes there still something left of him he's not in a vegetative state maybe not the him he was before but he is engaging. She checked out probably some time ago. Sad
Cuz she was always a h o e....
"if that was my husband" this "if she was my wife" that. you are not in her situation, you don't know how she feels. realistically, the man she loves is gone. there are glimpses of him here and there, but she obviously knows the real him has been gone for a long time. it's okay for her to move on with life. and if you didn't, or don't want to, that's fine too. everyone is different. you shouldn't judge her for her decisions.
But to move on and act like he was never a part of your life is sick. Just a lame excuse to have sex with other people. God forgive me but someday I hope that she gets a taste of her medicine.
@@DriftyAlison0 she will still remember him. but what else can she do? he is very ill. there is not much she can do to help him at that point. and who says she will have sex with other people? she just wants to move on with her life.
@@megalines3461 I can see moving on but she can still be a part of his life. I work in a dementia facility and just because they have the disease does not mean they can not have moments of joy.
Someone mentioned the age difference between the two of them. Um…I don’t see an age difference!😂
VOWS for better or worse
Until death do us part
"till death do us part" doesn't mean anything anymore.
What was once a vow is just words with no substance now.
Your husband is not yet "in a bad shape" please hang on a little and care for him. I understand it's difficult but don't leave him so soon.
Man, she looks disgusted when he kisses her. I guess they say the person becomes like s stranger. Sad.
Wow, she's a real softy! Feel sorry for her hubby, now AND before dementia. Maybe he's faking it to get the hell away from her! Lol
Through sickness and health?
John Wayne exactly, wait till he's dead
Easy for you to say.
@@colinmenzies7162 I just feel if they are still alive regardless of illness, I would just respect them and wait till they had died
Stephanie starrett You mean physically dead I presume. You don't have to be in a coffin in order to be dead. His mind has gone and he is not the person she married. She has obviously made sure he is being well looked after which is respect enough.
How about you look at it this way - there are two outcomes:
A - She stays with him. She is unhappy, he is happy.
B - She leaves him. She is happier, he is still happy.
Takes a very selfish person to make someone choose option A.
The person dies long before the body in dementia
She said she’s done all she can do. She has not! She is ready to leave him. I have no respect for that ! Sounds pretty selfish to me. I’m about their age. If that happens to my husband, I will be there with him til the end. I think he would do that for me too.
no he wouldnt
All I will say is “for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.
Connie Klein easier said than done. If someone forgets who you are/the relationship you had, why put your life on hold and waste it?
This is very sad. He still has a small bit of his memory and he's not 100% dependent. It looks like he can still dress and feed himself, and even carry on a conversation. As alzheimer's progresses, even these simple things get difficult. Trust me, I know. What happened to for better or for worse? IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH?
She is so harsh. I'm sure she's gone through a lot to get to that point and their relationship.
This is not harsh. This is reality. You clearly have not experienced this so be quiey
Maybe they had an affair while she was working for him. He probably dumped his wife for her. Maybe they hadn’t been married that long and she hadn’t had much invested in the marriage. Only speculation.
omg cant believe she's moving on hes her husband how the hell can she do that god bless him he cant help he has dementia this is unbelievable what a horrible woman shes not guna stick by him im gobsmacked
U have no right to talk about her like that.
What you don't understand is, the person there is NOT her husband mentally, only physically. Unless you've seen this happen first hand, you really cannot comment and even if you've witnessed something similar, dementia affects everyone differently. It can be very extreme. Think loving, patient, calm and caring wife turning into an ultra violent thug stabbing their family members kind of extreme. It's not their fault, but dementia can do that.
In sickness and in health..forgot about that part didn't she?
She is very cold. True love would not allow her to use the illness as an excuse to forget him. She has no sentimental value to their relationship? Then she never truly loved him. Illness doesn't wipe out memory. She is obviously just put out and angry he has this illness as though he brought it on himself. I know its hard. But true love will always win out. She is not a good lady. He married the wrong person. Hope she doesn't remarry and abandon anyone else. Bad heart in that one.
Exactly what I thought. My mom had dementia so I know what it's like to see someone go through it.
Am I the only one who thinks she comes across as completely heartless?
I can understand that, but as someone who spends time with people with dementia, I can be incredibly hard to follow what reality if they can even form one, they are existing in. I myself have never lost someone to dementia, but I can imagine how painful it must be for these people to kill every conversation, step on every sore spot and drain the life out of their spouse. If one person alone carried that burden, they'd be two feet in the grave as well.
No
She sounds like she didn't really love him, and more like he was useful while he was healthy.
This is not a salacious comment, I am really curious. In this situation would the facility allow the wife to stay with him overnight? In other words, can the victim of this terrible disease have a conjugal visit with his wife or do they deny him his sexual existence? Just curious. Thanks.
Harsh
What happened to in sickness and health. Till death us do part.😥
My grandma had dementia. It just means you forget things, alot of things. Other than that their personality is the same.
damn what a way to stick by your spouse he's not even that old yet & shes ready to leave him
You need to watch the rest of them before judging her, he has 2 girlfriends. So yeah research prior to posting a stupid bold comment
Jane Doe When a person has Alzheimer's or Dementia to that degree, it's almost as if the person is a completely different person who stole the body and some of the memories of your loved one. The personality, the actions, and affection are vastly different. My great grandfather was not the man my great grandmother knew at all when he died. There are flashes of personality that are achingly similar to the point that it hurts to even be near them anymore because you know they don't know you anymore.
So true. She better not hope that her kids or future spouse does not do the same to her. Shame on her on thinking of leaving her husband in the time where he needs her the most.
Jane Doe she doesn't have her husband at that point..and she shared that he cheated on her in the past.
He's mentally gone Jane, are you also ..?
People just throw away their loved ones they find inconvenient to their lifestyle.
he never loved her though
Yeah she’s really upset about her husband 🙄
Weekly visit? That's big of her! She looks like she can barely stand him. So glad he's found love with someone else inside his "prison."
OMG! What a horrible woman. To let go of her partner and move on and have no feelings for him anymore. He didn’t ask for the dementia.
“ For better or worse , sickness and health, till death do us part”. She answer for her actions. 😡
My father had Alzheimer’s and do you think my mother married to him 55 years and me 52 through him away! Believe you not!! There till the end!
Karma will get her for abandoning her husband like that
But her husband, who thinks his wife is just a friend, and has two girlfriends in the care home, won't be caught by karma? Did he not abandon her?
