Hi I'm also 25 and new to the site. It's just this huge relief to know that I'm not the only person whose father has AZ. I've felt really alone lately because none of my friends can relate and watching my dad detiorate and losing him day by day just hurts so much. He's had this condition for a while but recently got worst and I just can't stand the thought of losing him but feel like I already have. Then I feel really guilty because I know I should appreciate the person he is now but I just miss him and having a dad so much. I don't know whether other people also feel that it's hard to talk to your family as they rely on you to support them instead? I know it's only going to get worse and would really appreciate any coping mechanisms anyone else has because at the moment I just don't know what to do. Very best wishes to you all, take care xx
