My DH was diagnosed last year with MCI. For a few months now I noticed changes. He has memory loss, blames anything or anyone for anything .

All of this being said, my…

My mother and stepfather have been married for 21 years and I’ve had a pretty happy marriage. My stepfather came down with Parkinson’s a few years ago and is in the later stages now and in an AL…
