Episode #21
When Your Parent Has Dementia, Who Takes Care of You?
King Meets Queen is the podcast for couples navigating real life — not just the good parts. This episode is for every son and daughter watching a parent with dementia become someone they no longer fully recognize — grieving them while they're still here. For the spouse trying to support a partner consumed by dementia caregiving with nothing left for the relationship at the end of the day. For every Black family told "we take care of our own" — without anyone asking who's taking care of the caregiver. We're getting real about what caring for a parent with Alzheimer's or dementia actually does to a marriage — the burnout, the anticipatory grief, the guilt, and the distance that builds when two people are too exhausted to find each other. We share what this has looked like in our own home, and why this is the conversation the dementia caregiving community desperately needs — from a couple who's actually living it. You don't have to choose between caring for your parent and saving your marriage. But nobody tells you how to do both. King Meets Queen — because it takes both royals to run this kingdom. ️ New episodes dropping biweekly — subscribe so you never miss one.
