Another thing I did not mention.  Spouse is a pastor and really should know better about dementia.  I would think.

Just because he’s a pastor doesn’t mean he’s educated about dementia/Alzheimer’s/Parkinson’s, etc. Sometimes they are the least educated on those things.

Well, tell him what you've told us! I'm not sure you'll be able to make him understand that what he's saying comes off as demeaning, though. He's likely trying to make everyone see what he's going through on a daily basis.........a blow by blow description of his agony in caring for his wife, you know? That's what it sounds like to me.....he wants pity for his role as a care giver. The man obviously needs some education in dementia, to say the least.

Good luck!

We have asked him to stop with the emails and told him that everyone does not need to know her daily eating habits and what she says.  He feels he needs to continue so she is in everyone's thoughts and  prayers each day.  We have said a weekly email asking those to pray for her would be more appropriate.  I am worried as he is blaming her for faking and punishing him.  Thankfully, she is in a memory care facility and he is not caring for her full time.  IDK
