I really do feel for you. You have a lot to deal with and I totally get masking. My son’s father (my ex), has ADHD (late diagnosis), Autism (undiagnosed), and early onset Alzheimer’s (he is in denial but I see the signs like I did with his mother…now I know what to look for and notice differences). He is 60. His mother (my mother in law) had early onset Alzheimer’s probably in her 40s and 50s but no one noticed except for me so I encouraged her on getting evaluated. I was more of her caregiver than her son. I was exhausted because I worked 60+ hours a week and had a toddler/young child at the time with no family at all. I am currently 55 and my son is 15. I am his sole provider and the future is scary for sure. I have so many health issues and getting surgery (3rd) on my cervical spine next week.

Do you have family that can help you navigate through all of this change? Do you have a support system around you so you do not feel alone?
