(34,009 posts)I played with dementia people way too long.
It took to h me forever to figure it out.
Then last February, one died and I ditched
the other two and picked up my current
partner again.
She's also competitive, but got into some
bad playing habits that her narcissism made
it hard to admit were bad. That's been the
real drama until I just decided, fuck it, I won't
confront her on it any more.
What I'd do is just ignore it, until finally she
settled down some. Her first tactic was to tell
me she wanted us to hire a pro to help us. I
told her he better be affordable and set a price
limit. You know, agree just to get her off guard
until she's ready to hear me talk.
So now she's coming around and actually hearing
me, so we're doing better. We really don't need a
pro; I'm good enough to even carry her when she
goes off piste with her stupid bidding.
Still, I think I'll let the pro observe one of our
games in January. It can't hurt, and it'll make her
feel good. He's a nice guy who was the first director
I met at the bridge club.
I used to play bingo when I was young, at the church
and my dad's work picnics. I won' some cool prizes too.
Dominoes was fun too. My grandmother taught us to
play 42 and 84. Those were the best, lots of fun.
Fun is good, especially these days.
