Phantom pain
I think she's going to forget me, my mom is going to forget me. It's been rough. She refuses to get help or let me in on her evaluations with the doctor. She denies her early signs of memory loss. Still dealing with a heartbroken loss of an ex, the loss of my 2 best friends because of that ex, deciding what's best for my family with little to no say. I'm 24 and my moms fading, my brother, 30 is delusional and kept in a childlike mindset of cartoons. And Disney shows and is currently back home. Father retires this year and is starting to sync up with moms failure to remember, 62. Her 54. Im going to lose them both and I don't know how to cope or understand my choices that I don't even have. My current boyfriend is amazing but at what cost does he come for? What more do I have to lose to gain him? I move out myself come August because I have to move on for my future. But my depression and thoughts keep me in the present day left to grieve over my families certain tragedy.
That's a lot to deal with, @FlowerLily23 . Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I wish you all the best as you consider your path forward. Sometimes making it clear that you are here for your parents when they need you is the most you are able to do. My dad suffered from memory loss so I do relate very much to what you are saying. Feel free to message me if you'd like to chat.
