   I’m so sorry. We had to deceive our parents and disable the car to get them to stop driving. Enjoy the lucidity they have now. Our situation now is most unpleasant. So sorry it’s been sad. This disease is awful.

   It seems like we are both going through something very similar. My mother just turned 62 a week ago and is late stage 6/ early stage 7 and I’m starting to transition her into a memory care unit. It was a very difficult decision to make, but it’s really just been me and another caregiver I hired taking care of her. The other caregiver is starting to say it’s too difficult to care for her, which I understand. She was still walking and smiling in May of this year and would respond to us, even though most of what she said didn’t make sense. She had a fall in June and it’s been downhill since then. She’s fully wheelchair bound. Even her facial expression has completely changed.. she takes 30min to an hour to eat a small meal now. She doesn’t recognize me half of the time.. although I can see happy micro expressions when I tell her I love her and kiss her etc. It’s so hard to believe how quickly her condition has declined. A strange thing that’s been happening is that whenever I come to visit, as soon as she sees or hears me she starts crying. It’s so sad. I read somewhere that she may just be overwhelmed with emotion and crying is one of the only ways she can express it now. She has frontotemporal dementia + Alzheimer’sand from what I understand it can be especially aggressive when it happens younger. I just hope she isn’t suffering, and I hope I’m making the right decision by putting her in a home. I feel kind of numb to it at this point and in a way I feel like I lost my mother a while ago. It’s sad beyond words watching someone disappear like this. I’m sorry you’re going through this too. Sending you love and strength. My dm’s are open if you ever need someone to talk to.

   Hard but meaningful visit - I visited Mom and Dad today because they wre really upset and I wanted to comfort them. Mom has still been driving (she passed a driving test after her diagnosis, much to my and my sisters' dismay), and last week when she drove to bowling when she got out of her car a person she had inadvertently cut off yelled at her in front of a bunch of people. She was humiliated and I think it reminded her that this is a progressive illness and things aren't going to stay this way indefinitely. She came home and told my dad she's done driving and also done bowling forever. This was really hard for her because she's a really independent person. But I'm glad we didn't have to take her keys away and she was able to make that choice herself. The disease is progressing, I think she may be in stage 5 or 6 at this point. I spent the weekend with them (they live my sister and brother-in-law) playing games, going on a drive (I drove), and visiting the Farmer's Market. I could see how upset they both were, and it was really hard. When I was leaving, my mom took my hands and told me that she loved it when I visit because I'm the only person that doesn't try to tell her to be different and that she's enough just as she is. She gave me a diamond ring her father gave her that had been in his family. What a really hard day today. I feel so much grief I can barely function. But I'm grateful that I can be there for my mom. I love her so much and I'm so sad she and my dad are ending their lives with this painful illness. I'm grateful for them both and that I get to support them and say goodbye. Thanks for reading.

   My husband has it for 4 years he’s 64 now. He can still be engaging with people but also repeats himself a lot. But he’s also a narcissist everything is about him. You begin to feel like you don’t matter anymore. You have to do everything, they become difficult with there meals. I cook or you pickup dinner and they don’t appreciate it. You’re exhausted after dinner because you didn’t sleep well. You happen to take a nap on the couch and he wakes you because he thinks you’re not breathing. Because l’m human l’m upset because he woke me. He’s can’t handle me showing any frustration at him. He goes upstairs to bed and pouts like a child. So there l am on the couch alone watching tv. You have conversations with him but he doesn’t remember anything. He doesn’t remember that you don’t feel well that. You become so sad because he there but he’s really not there. When something happens in the house he wants to be in the decisions making because he says this is his house. But he can’t because he so confused about what we need to fix. I feel lonely and frustrated most days.
