Constantly accessing porn | Dementia Support Forum

My husband was diagnosed with mixed dementia 4 years ago. He was accessing porn on his iPad. I found it very distressing. Sitting in the same room knowing what he was watching was uncomfortable. He couldn’t understand why I was upset. I eventually just took his iPad away. He has only once asked for his iPad. I just said it had a problem and wasn’t usable. He accepted the explanation. His behaviour with his carers to me is unacceptable. I know it’s the disease, he would never have behaved in this way. He has lost his empathy, he has no idea his behaviour is unacceptable. It doesn’t make it any easier for me to accept, I try but it isn’t easy. I’m shocked at his behaviour and his very lewd comments. The wonderful care company send the experienced, ie older, members of staff. They are truly wonderful. Yes, we have to accept it’s the disease but it still is distressing. Most people are understanding.
