Abusive patients

[Shmicho]

Hi Dizee12,

I know you wrote this 5 years ago but I'm going to reply anyway in case you are still on here.

I'm in the same boat, my partner also thinks I'm verbally abusive. I don't feel like this is the case, I get what you mean about the brain fog, I think sometimes it's frustrating to have them not remember conversations and just not be themselves.  I might say something like 'we already talked about that and it's as if I've hurled abuse at him.  I feel like I'm walking on eggshells all the time.

I hope you have managed your way through this somehow, any tips?

Hope you are both doing ok 🙂
