    • About Me

      I am an only child I was raised up in Church of God, my parents divorced when my first child was 3 years old. I married a man who had 2 children so I had an instant large family. However, the man I married is a drug addict so life has been up and down with him. I love my step daughters we have always gotten along really well. I had 2 other children so that is a total of 4. Now I have 4 grandchildren ranging from 8 years to 18 months. I was trying to make sure that as I get older I don't have to be alone. I am an only child and when not with my kids I spend alot of time alone. I have a beagle named Dixie and she is my sidekick. I love taking walks with her and love to hang out at creeks and lakes. I spend alot of time with my grandkids so that the kids can go out and do their thing. My husband is in construction and we have now been married 26 years. My mom has Alzheimer at age 64 and my dad is manic-depressed and has tried to commit suicide a couple of times in the past. He now lives with me. Sometimes all of this gets too much to handle so I am here just to find friends to talk to.

    • Close Alzheimer's Disease
      Stage: Advanced

      I am an only child and my 65 year old mom has alzheimers and lives with her boyfriend of 4 years. He has power of attorney over my mom and has taken me to court to get guardianship of my mom. My mom and I are not close and I must admit I am angry that she has put me in a position that I have no say over her. I hate this man. Mine and my childrens inheritance is gone and I am going to make him suffer and take care of her. I feel guilty over this but can't do anything about it. But watch her.
