Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

    if he has a show he loves, its sad but you can buy the series or find it on a streaming service (whatever is easiest for him to access) and keep it on a loop.

    Im sorry to hear about all this. I know its heart breaking, my dad is going through the same things but hes probably a little more gone compared to your dad. Ive cried many time because hes slowly dying and losing his mind and I know these declines are permanent. Watching your parent slowly die right in front of you is crazy and sad and cruel. I wish someone had stopped your dad from divorcing your mom because he needed her. But thats the decision he made, not sure if he was thinking straight during that decision. Good that he will be moving back in until he gets assisted living. If you think papers with scribbles everywhere is bad, wait until he starts to pee himself, or curse at the mirror non stop. Things get worse, its tough to deal with. I wish you and your family all the best. 🙏❤️

    New Frontotemporal Diagnosis - Hello all, My father is 65, and was just diagnosed with moderate FTD. My family and I have noticed his memory and behavior getting worse for a few years, however we attributed it to mental health struggles and a mid life crisis. 5 years ago, he left my mom whom he was married to for 35 years and quit his job of 30 years, and moved to a random city because he “needed a change.” A year later he moved to Florida, and we are located in the Midwest. He notoriously hates heat so the decision was strange to us but we have a brother in Florida so we thought maybe he wanted to he closer to him. Since this, he started calling less, asking for addresses multiple times, missing flights, losing all forms of identification. The cherry on top was a car crash that he caused and then he accidentally fled the scene of the crime because he thought he was done with police. He got arrested. Then last week he lost his car completely (it has since been found). He was previously living with my brother but moved out two months ago to live alone. My sister and I flew down here after the lost car situation because I needed to assess what was going on. He spent last weekend in the hospital getting a work up for dementia, Parkinson’s, other brain issues, and treatment of a UTI. We followed up with neurology yesterday and he scored a 15 on the MOCA and got a FTD diagnosis. From what I’ve noticed, this is a steep decline from who he was 6 months ago but the signs have been there for at least 5 years since he ended his marriage. Looking back, he got lost at my wedding 2 years ago and barely talks to me like he used to. It’s so sad. I look at the father I once knew and it’s not him anymore. He’s scared. He looks helpless a lot of times. He just sits and zones out. His apartment is dirty, he has barely any food, half the electricity is out, and there’s random papers with scribbles and numbers on it everywhere.It makes me cry when he tries to tell me something and it makes no sense at all. I’ve afraid of what’s to come and how long it will take before he passes. We are flying him home to us tomorrow and he will be staying with my mom in our family home until we can find assisted living. I don’t know if I’m looking for advice or just to vent. It’s just fucking heartbreaking.

    It's not your Grandma saying awful things, it's the disease saying awful things. If she was in her right mind, she'd be horrified and sad at her words. Read up on dementia, OP. It might help you to know what kinds of behavior is common. I am sorry your family is dealing with this.

    What can I (20f) do? - My grandma thinks (actually, fully believes) my grandpa is having an affair. It has been extremely stressful cause she keeps fighting and being mean to him most of the times. Today, she said something about "what me and my grandpa have", insinuating that I am the "mistress", cause, and I quote her, "he's not your mom's dad, he's not my husband, so you guys aren't related". So, besides from disgusting, a lie and so deeply sad, I can't stop thinking about how hurtful that must be for my grandpa. He's the most respectful guy I've ever met, he doesn't even say bad words in front of me... How can I act in this situations regarding my grandma? About the whole affair thing, cause obviously telling her the truth = nothing but fights... but I feel like I need to do something, cause it's really hurting my grandpa
