Just needed to release some sadness

My DH exhibits such extreme changes in stages from day to day. Emotional and mood changes seem to be prominent at times- crying in a restaurant over a change in plans. There is much child like behavior. I have learned how to manage this, however my heart is aching. I can’t seem to not let it shock me each time he enters into a state of the disease so to speak. I feel as though I will never adjust to this.
I seem to cry at any given moment since the diagnosis… have had a few other life events take place that may contribute as well.

I miss the man I married- I feel alone-sad -as I have read everyone here seems to feel.
