Big Mistake
Told my daughter I had been diagnosed with pre-clinical Alzheimer’s. She started pulling away, and now only allows me minimal contact with my grandkids. Wishing I hadn’t told her!
Hi
I am so sorry to hear this. This must be devastating for you. I wonder if she needs more information to understand your diagnosis. Maybe that would help her process what is going on. I am sending over a few articles if you think it would be helpful to share with her: https://alzheimersdisease.net/living/family-history, https://alzheimersdisease.net/relationships and https://alzheimersdisease.net/living/cope-with-early-onset-diagnosis. I hope this helps. Jill (Team Member) She understands it perfectly well. That’s why she’s pulling my grandkids away from me.
my heart breaks for what you are going through. Is there anyone that can talk to your daughter that would help support you? I really hope this situation can improve for you. Please keep us posted. Jill (Team Member)
No, my daughter and her husband already know everything about everything under the sun. Besides, in their view, they’re protecting their children. I suspect that, long term, they’ll regret their decision, but I’m afraid I won’t be around to see it. Oh, well…
