Hey. I'm 18 years old and my dad was diagnosed with early-onset alzheimer's when I was 16. Me and my mum have been taking care of him but it's also heavily worsened my mum's and i've seen her mentally breakdown for the first time in front of me, It;s completely thrown out what was once a relatively stable family dynamic. Nothing gets done around the house and I'm supposed to be completing my International Baccalaureate in 6 months so I don't always have the time to help. We have a pretty severe cashflow issue and I'm never sure how much food I can reasonably ask to buy at any moment. My dad is getting more unrecognisable and he deals with his own ****** mood by taking it out on us. I'm also a person with a substance use disorder which causes friction between me and my family and makes things more disorganised.
