Who?

We were guaranteed that our LBD spouse wouldn’t forget who we are, but that’s a little complicated.

Burt has such extreme Capgras that he asks me who I am many times each day. Also, he complains about the “other one” who forces him to eat.

The syndrome is one in which your person with dementia feels there are more than one of you. The imposter me “looks just like you,” as Burt has often reported. My duplicate is just one of his hallucinations, but it affects me powerfully.

The upside is that he’s frequently mad at “her” and I come up smelling of roses.
