My dad was diagnosed with younger onset Alzheimer's earlier this year, when I first found out I thought he would have so much time yet after reading about a man who was still driving after having this disease for over 10 years. However, my dad had to give up driving before he was officially diagnosed. I'm in the middle of my exams yet all I seem To be doing is worrying. My family - I am the youngest of five(3 girls, 2 boys) my parents are still together and I have no memory of them every arguing. Until recently that's all they ever seem to do. Mum cries a lot and breaks things occasionally but we have never really been the touchy feely kind of family so I find it really awkward to comfort her and feel rather guilty. My school don't know and I am under a lot of pressure from my teachers as my grades have been dropping. My friends know my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's but they don't seem to understand what actually happens and I hate to go on about it, so I just keep it all in. That's why I've come on here, to speak with people who understand, if your 16 or 60 I don't care, I would just like advice.
