Bruce Willis<\/a>\u2019 dementia fight.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Emma Heming Willis says her children\u2019s lives have been turned \u2018upside down\u2019 by the impact of Bruce Willis\u2019 dementia fight<\/p>\n
The model and influencer, 47, has been acting as a carer for her ailing Die Hard actor husband, 70, since he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, and has now used her new book to describe how the condition is changing daily life for their young daughters, Mabel and Evelyn.<\/p>\n
Emma said in her new book The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path: \u201cThe truth is, Mabel and Evelyn\u2019s daily lives were being turned upside down. For example, with FTD and other forms of dementia, some people become more sensitive to noise, which can cause distraction, confusion, and agitation. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo I had everyone tiptoeing around the house to keep it as peaceful and serene as possible. This meant playdates were obsolete and forget about sleepovers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emma has also used her book to reflect on the \u201cloud and crazy and fun\u201d times Bruce has enjoyed with Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.<\/p>\n
\nFather-of-five Bruce is also father to Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31, who he had during his marriage with actress Demi Moore, 62.<\/p>\n
\nEmma wrote about how she recently decided to move Bruce into a separate home with a professional care team, saying their household had become one where \u201cno one was thriving\u201d amid his health fight. <\/p>\n
\nShe said the new arrangement allowed the family to \u201cfind a better balance and fit\u201d for everyone.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking to Good Morning America on 9 September, Emma defended the decision after receiving social media criticism. <\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cIt\u2019s really not up for a debate. Now I know that Bruce has the best care 100 percent of the time. \u201cHis needs are met 100 percent of the time, as well as our two young daughters\u2019. So I\u2019m not gonna take a vote on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nEmma added she expected criticism but insisted it was \u201cthe safest and best decision \u2014 not just for Bruce, but also for our two young girls\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nEmma\u2019s book The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path is out now.<\/p>\n
