I can no longer journal about my mother's Alzheimer's. I am afraid. She has became violent and paranoid not necessarily towards me, but my father. My father has become a complete stranger. I can say nothing more because it will only get worse. And I can only die once. I do not want my journals to seem written out of self-pity. Alzheimer's is taking over every waking thought. There has to be something else for me to think about.

I am so sorry things have taken this turn for you. I am here for you if you need to talk outside the confines of the journal format. You have to keep venting about this or it will be too much to handle.
Keep Venting when you Need To....It is NOT Self-Pity, ...it IS HELL to go through!!! You have ALL of My Compassion, and Deepest Sympathy!! I will make a suggestion...if you feel that your Dad is suffering from Violence, he is Vulnerable and something can and should be done to help him...Someone can call a Health Care Provider to get him the help that he needs!!!
