I'm new here and I can't find the right place to post.
Sorry, I looked at about a 100 links here and I didn't find anything that fit.
I'm simply looking for the correct forum to post my question regarding my wife who has early onset Alzheimer's and her children who live all over the country.
Is there a place where I can ask this question?

Danno99, first of all, welcome to the forum though I am sorry for the reason you are here. You have posted in the Caring for a Spouse or Partner section, which is a good place to ask your question. This discussion board is a great place to find information and support.

Danno99, Yes, this is a good place to ask your question, but you should probably "start a new discussion" (the yellow link in the upper right of your screen.

I appreciate your response. So I've posted in the correct forum? So I should post my question here? I'm sorry, it's still a bit confusing?

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you. Go right ahead and post here. Many of us are caring for a spouse/partner, and I'm sure you will get responses.

yes, you opened a new discussion properly and you can go ahead and ask your question by replying to yourself. Or you can open another new discussion to ask your question, There are several ‘support a person with dementia forums’: general caregiver, Spouse, parent, long distance. The general caregiver and spouse are the most active. You will see spouses post new discussions in either of those. You open a new discussion ( as you did) and people reply to it. The 100s of things you looked at were all discussions and it would be a good thing for you to read some of those that sound interesting as there’s good information there.

Yes, read a lot of threads. But it's better to begin your own thread to ask questions about yourown situation, just as you are doing. Go ahead, ask your questions!

Danno99, you did just fine. You’re in the right place. Welcome to the forum. They changed the forum format a while back and it’s more confusing than the old, but once you get the hang of it, it’s ok. Lots of good information here from others who are with you in the trenches. I get more useful information here than anywhere else, often more than my husband’s doctors. And there always seems to be someone posting, pretty much around the clock.
