I am newly diagnosed with MCI. Most of the females on my mom's side had Dementia, including her mom. Now, some of my cousins and at least one of my brothers are experiencing this. He has not been formally diagnosed but it will be soon. Not sure about Alzheimer's. I also was diagnosed with ADHD. Not much support just yet but I am working on figuring out what I need to do and how navigate. I am hoping to find others I can chat with or some online line type meetings to help. I travel a lot so I cannot do in person meetings. Anyway hope we can share. Thanks

Hi living in western Colorado, I am the caregiver to my spouse of 48 yrs old diagnosed with early on set dementia. Hoping to find a community to talk with here in Colorado.

Hi I'm new here too! I have a 72-year-old mom and she was my best friend all my life!! But now she hates me . she thinks I'm The Conspirator to her demise.. and will tell me that I'm not her daughter. it's been extremely difficult..I'm 44 and I am a single mom of one daughter.. my parents were together for 40 years and my dad when she had gotten a brain tumor prior to this my dad left her 6 months after and broke all the stuff in her house and was cheating on her for whoever knows how long and left her completely alone. And my mom blamed me and hated me for it and told me that it was my fault and it didn't matter to me because I wanted to be there for my mom. a I just am very angry that I can't have my mom ever again.. I miss everything about her I'm mad at my dad and my sister also for 5 years wouldn't speak to my mom because she's a vegan and she's better than everybody else and it was embarrassing that my parents had an issue and now my sister has my mom living with her and this is like almost the seventh year and my mom will tell me all the time how I wasn't there for her and I was the only one that was! I most recently found out that my parents stole a testamentary trust from me and my sister worth of quite a few million dollars and my mom is you know on the brink of dementia and so I mean like I'm not mean to her about it but my mom signed the paperwork like 30 years ago and so it's all been so painful. I sometimes wish and hope that I could just get a few minutes talk to her. my mom won't go to the doctor to get anything figured out but she's extremely angry and she's hateful and she's agitated and even physical and it's so sad to watch one of the most beautiful people I knew turn into such a monster.. I have no family and the rest of my family is passed on and I don't speak to my father nor my sister I just it's all so much to take and so depressing for them and for you so I hope that being able to talk this out because we all have a similar story we just want them to be the same
