I’m 23, live in nyc w/ my G/F. My dad is 63, normal, he lives with my 30 yr old mentally retarded sister and my mom, 61, who has had dementure since June ’03. She is in stage 6 of 7 (severe cognitive dementure). Next stage she will lose ability to move or even swallow.

She developed it from a thyroid problem which was rooted to a smoking habit. I noticed it VERY mildly at first, didn’t think anything of it. But when it took significance it literally happened OVERNIGHT. It is so cruel what God did to her. The home has never been the same since and I hate that she wasn’t there to see all I’ve been through the past 5 yrs. Its kinda like she’s already dead cuz it doesn’t matter what u tell her or what she sees, she won’t hear it or see it as my mom would.

Imagine God made someone u love unconscious for the rest of their life, in a limbo state, until they die INSTEAD of getting hurt or whatever and immediately dying. That’s what this is like and it pisses me off so much. It sucks I can’t tell her anything, she can’t know my future wife as a person, she can’t even meet my future kids.

She used to tell me she would watch over my kids while I go out with my girl on a special date. And I looked forward to that. I hate she has to go down like this, "slowly" dying. Picture getting shot and living w/ a bullet in u for 5 yrs, getting worse and worse. Its so wrong.

My dad can’t afford to put her in nursing home, not even for a few hrs a day, and there’s no room for a house aide. So I guess she will never know me again right? Or my wife or kids or when I make it in film business. Right?
