About Me
Married previously to an abuser. Happily married to someone else now for 26 years. 3 children (2 alive) My eldest son was killed four years ago in a head-on collision which was the fault of the oncoming driver. Shortly after that my mom suffered a stroke and has developed Alzheimers. My father died 2 years ago and we had to put my mom in a nursing home.

Close Alzheimer's Disease
Stage: AdvancedMum sustained brain injury due to stroke. Her language centre in the brain was badly affected, so she finds it extremely difficult to express herself. Beacause of this it is difficult to assess her stage of AZ. She has been in a nursing home for 18 months and seems to have adjusted. We try to visit her every second day. My sister visits her on alternating days.
Treatments

Treatments

- As soon as he stopped, the ps returned
Open Phobia
I have an (abnormal?) fear for travelling, especially by car. I drive my husband insane. I will often sit with my eyes closed just so that I do not see what happens in the traffic around us because if I look, I react with 'Look out!'or 'Be careful!' .. things like that and I make my husband nervous when I do that. Except for one short trip, I also have not driven in two years.
Treatments
- Acceptance Not Working
