Hello, my OH was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in July this year. He is only 51 and we have two DD's; both under 8.
OH has been off work (they raised the issue) and is going to be ill health pensioned off probably.
Am feeling a bit swamped tbh. With my own work, my daughters needs and getting head around OH diagnosis and the change in our financial future and looking after him I feel totally emotionally drained and he is still fairly independent at the mo. Am scared stiff about future especially when I read all the handbooks about how the disease may progress. How do you juggle his needs with childrens needs and keep it all together? Advice please,x
