Hi I've just joined.
I'm currently 17 and my mum has early onset dementia. She has had it for about four years now and over the past year has got increasingly worse. To be honest I just feel like I'm crumbling inside and nothing that I can do to try and help myself makes me feel any better because at the end of the day nothing will change the way she is. It's just so unfair, and so tragic. I miss having that woman I could once talk to about everything. Its just unreal how 16 years ago she was going everything for me whilst I was growing up and I'm doing everything for her as she's getting older.
