Bruce Willis' wife opened up about being "wound so tight" while the family deals with the actor's dementia diagnosis. Emma Heming Willis took time for herself while caring for the family and explained why on Instagram. "Bruce and his masterful mic-drop-one-liners.

He would say, ‘He just can’t get out of his own way.’ I never really understood what it meant until it hit me in the face the other day," she explained. "It’s me.

I can’t get out of my own way." She added: "I plan, organize, look after everyone and I still rarely make time for me.The kicker came from Evelyn a few days ago when she said, ‘Mom, you need to get out and touch the grass.’ Spoken like her father’s child.

I knew what she meant. I’m wound so tight that she sees it, they all feel it. How is that serving anyone."           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Emma Heming Willis (@emmahemingwillis) In order to prioritize herself, Emma chose to go on a solo hike. "Today I made time to do something I used to love doing – a 30 min hike and it made all difference," she revealed. "They are giving me the permission, almost begging me to make time for myself and I need to shhhh, listen and just go." Emma has been sharing moments from the couple's life after the actor was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).The diagnosis was revealed in February – months after Willis retired due to an aphasia diagnosis. "Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD)," a statement from Willis' family said at the time.
