Long story short, partner has family history of early onset, which i know means our future is basically destroyed.
At the moment we are particularly anxious and concerned about what would happen with care costs if our worst fears are realised and I can't find any answers by googling so wondered if anyone can help.
We own our home and it's my only asset for retirement etc. I have no savings and my pensiomn isn't likely to amount to enough to live on.
My fear is that as well as having been cursed with the likelihood of this despicable illness I will also lose all my assets and any hope of a life because my partner could need decades of care. I am not capable of being a carer for any length of time as I have to travel a lot for work
Please help me get a handle on what the future looks like if the worst happens. I have lived with this crippling uncertainty for too long. And of course I feel like a monster for thinking about this side of things but it's quite a big deal when you're still in your 30s and have no idea how to secure any sort of a future.
Thanks you
