For the past 11 years my mother has progressed from depressed to schizophrenic bipolar suicidal and dementia. today her nurse told me that my mother has now been diagnosed with alzheimers. When I was a little child, my fathers father had alzheimers. im told its terminal and i feel absolutely helpless. my mother and i have had the worst relationship my whole life but im more afraid of how my father will handle the news and the turnout. please someone give me some advice so i dont go crazy and i know what to expect in the years to come! god bless!View Thread
