If you could let me know that one as well when you work it out :)

Reminiscence - This can be effective if you focus on events or eras as opposed to people as it is usually harder for people suffering with Dementia to remember humans. Other than that i’m not too sure it depends on what stage and severity they are at.

And i’m guessing you don’t really want to go into it but what’s the general outline of your situation…if you don’t mind me asking.

Thanks for the reply on mine by the way. Don’t know what to do about it. I did kind of say how i feel but i got a ‘can’t comment due to my situation’ back. But i guess being being more direct is probably best… or nothing? I don’t know. Anyway i hope you sort out your problems as i said i’m the same when it comes to confrontation i just run and regress back into a child again. I tell myself i’m being nice to them and that the situation will be alright in the end but at the end of the day “just do it” is really the only way forward. Sometimes getting others to look at your situation is the best thing to do because you end up coming up with hundreds of crappy reasons or justifications yourself and can never really see which one’s right. Anyway good luck and remember “just do it” is usually best.

Confrontation - i don’t believe we have met. There’s nothing more painful than not knowing the truth whether it be at the time or finding out later. However from my own situation i really think you need to tell them how you feel even if it’s hard. It’s hard to let someone you care about down but you’re letting them down even more by not being honest with them. I don’t know what your situation is but it sounds a lot like what the other person in my situation could potentially be thinking. I’d rather they expressed what they are thinking be it good or bad for me as opposed to going through the uncertainty that i’m currently experiencing. But no it’s not just you i’m crap at saying how i really feel and what i really need to say. If you think about it it’s because you care about them and probably a bit of self preservation as well. Whatever you do don’t ignore this person because that hurts more than anything.

Stick, knife(bit risky), get someone to scratch it?

and better…

well done i’ve resolved to give up giving up! I think the only way is wait for the right motivation to come along… bit of a cop out really :)

:)…

Now that looks bad i put f. a. g.

I’ve come in rather late on this one but YES! Men are crap, they ALL suck and you can’t beat smoking. In fact i’m off for a ***…

Hi. Well i’m in the same kind of situation as you so if you come up with a solution please gimme a shout :). I also am female and like a girl, i asked her/told her and she said she couldn’t comment so i know where you’re at. My conclusion so far is that if you believe in something badly enough, really think that it will happen then there’s a bigger chance it will. Not because of any magicky, flukey stuff. If you believe in something and only see the positives in it then you are more inclined to act in a way that will increase the likelyhood of what you want occuring. So what i’m saying is believe that you will be with her and keep positive, but as the others said don’t push it on her.

I like that… a concept.

Was there anything that happened in your life that stands out that first enabled you write?

Oh heck it’s world war four. Agree to disagree?
