My head is all over the place and I've cried non stop since finding out.
My father has had memory issues for many years, but always been in denial.
He's got lost at times and I always knew something was wrong, but put it down to many horrible events we suffered in our lives.
He has been formally diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and Alzheimers disease today following a brain scan.
He's likely in mid stage.
He looked at me when he was told and I saw the fear in his eyes - I feel broken, scared, like I don't want to be here anymore, if I'm honest.
I can't lose him, I have tears running down my face as I write this.
I'm scared for him, I'm scared for me.
I can't cope with thinking I'm going to watch my dad be taken away from me piece of piece.
I'm numb.
Why does this evil disease even exist, why him, he'd do anything for anyone.
So now I know I can't hide anymore that maybe it was stress, or because he was having a bad day or because he is aging.
I don't know what to say.. :'(
I love you so much dad :'(
