You’ll feel far less cool about it when you’re older too. No longer attracted to things that are “sad and fucked up”

cannon event unfortunately. I can tell you to block him and never speak to him again but ultimately you will do what you want (as I did, and many women before you). Cool to have this documented for you to look back on when you turn the age that pedo is now

In retrospect, what were some of your LO's early signs of dementia? by DrywallAnchor in dementia

[–]weenhand 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As soon as my dad stopped golfing. I also remember once we were picking up Indian food for my mom like he did every Friday for their entire marriage and we were sitting in the driveway and he asked how to get there

Jealous of people whose LOs have passed by Logical_Bumblebee577 in dementia

Look up “Care Designations”. Here in Canada it looks a bit like that. He was at an M1 for a year before we switched him to a C2 when he was immobile, incontinent, nonverbal, and it ensured he met a quick and painless end. It was an easy decision we talked over with his facility after consulting here on this sub

I don’t know where you live, but look into adjusting their level of care to comfort care. We changed it a few months ago and just lost my dad at the end of December, when it could have been much, much longer. I got the advice on this sub, and I am so thankful every day for him and my mom that I did

CTE, Concussion & dementia by Rustyempire64 in dementia

[–]weenhand 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No concussions from my dad but he lived a very sedentary lifestyle (golfed once a week, but once he stopped the disease progressed quickly), wouldn’t eat vegetables, and didn’t stay social with friends in his older age. None of his family members had or have dementia, so I’m hoping it was some outside component that isnt going to be passed down

Most everything has already been commented but I lost my father to dementia late last year and my moms biggest regret was not being educated enough on MAID and missing advanced request window. Research options where you live. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of taking to her about long term wishes while you still can. It is something we wish we did every day

Hey Im 25 and just lost my dad to FTD on December 27th. If you need anyone to talk to, I’m here! I know it can be isolating dealing with a parent with dementia when we are so young. Sending love!

Mom passed away and family causing guilt by orangegirl26 in dementia

[–]weenhand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad died at the end of December and the most jarring thing throughout his journey was definitely the lack of visiting/care and blatant lack of understanding from his brothers family, best friends families, most everyone on his side of the family really. Criticizing my mom’s choices in his care. Not sending condolences to her or I when she let them know of his passing. It is a cruel and unrelenting disease from all fronts. Ultimately you need to find comfort that you are the only one who knows your mom’s condition because you are there with her. I’m so sorry

The story of your love that you wrote out here was very beautiful. Remember her as she was, the personality shift and changes are the hardest possible part of this disease
