early stages of dementia
this is mostly just a vent, i don’t have friends irl that take me seriously and i don’t have many online friends that i feel comfortable venting to so i’m putting it here without the expectations of a response.
my relationship with my mom is not unusual but definitely weird. she loves me, but we argue a lot. i am rebellious and i hate myself for feeling that way (right now). i went through a bad depression since i was really young, and as i grew up i took it out on my mom. i hate myself for that so much right now. we would argue everyday to the point where she wondered “where did i go wrong? i have 3 other kids and they were never like this?” and i used to not care and i pissed her off a lot.
but i love her, as much as my younger self would say “i wouldn’t care if she died” i really care for and love my mom. she makes me food, she cares about my feelings, she helps me prepare for things, she tries her best to get me things i want, she really really is the best person in my life right now and im taking her for granted every second of my life.
when i look back at my times wit her , i want to hit myself in the face and make me hug her and accept her motherly love because every time i “rejected it because i thought i was being cool” is so immature and so fucking stupid. it’s all getting back to me like a truck, and i’m so fucking dumb for not realizing it sooner.
my mom is having early stages of dementia, and i’m fucking terrified of the entire disease. like i am so fucking scared of dementia and the fact that i keep on thinking that she might have is making me so fucking sad and scared and right now i’m in shock and i feel so detached that i can’t even cry anymore. it’s not that i can’t live without my mom, it’s the fact that i have to live in a reality where she wont see my future as “herself” anymore. and if she dies, my whole family and life is going to fall apart because when i realize i love my mom and i would give up my life to save her and when i am realizing right now that i should have loved her so much fucking more i want to kill myself.
i don’t know what to do, i am scared and i’m i’m so much disbelief that i just can’t sleep anymore.
Be there for her.
That's all you can do.

Being so close with your parents and knowing they will eventually leave and we won’t see them again kills me. I know how you feel, can’t sleep thinking about a world without them. How we can live without them one day really hurts, but we have to accept it one day, right now you have to be with your mom treat her the same loving way you’ve bee......
