Hi,
I’m 33 years old and my 74 year old mom was recently diagnosed, although we’ve seen it for the last couple years. I live in California and she lives in Ohio with my dad. I also have an older sister that lives a few hours away from my parents. Mom and I have been really close and talk on the phone every day on my drive to/from work. I’ve been processing a lot in therapy, but just looking for connection with other young adult children that are going through a similar experience.
