Hi, My name's Shelli
I'm a high school senior with hopes of entering in medicine later in life.i love my mom with all y heart she's made me ore than who i am today!
My mom was recently diagnosed with A1AD She's a really tough cookie but i' starting to notice changes in her attitude, they're postive for her but i know her too well and i think that these positive changes may be her way of giving up, its hard to explain but i need some help. this is the first time i've reached out for help from anyone! i want to help her and understand what she's going through but she isn't the type of person to ask for help or tell me or my older brothers how she feels she doesn't like to worry other people but i want to understand what she's going through so that i can better be here for her can anyone help?
