Im sorry to hear that your family isn't too understanding. You're right when you say you didn't ask for this. I always thought that this disease afflicts the elderly, not a 62 yo. and now our life has taking a major detour but we just try to get thru each day the best way we can. Maybe your family isn't too understanding because they don't know much about the disease and they're scared. I believe that what we don't know scares us. I've had my family read a few things about dementia so they now what we're going thru. And until someone is going thru this journey they will never know what the person and their spouse is going thru. It's a very sad situation so i just keep praying daily cuz some days are better than other and at the end of those days I just take a deep breath, smile and thank God.
Hugs and God Bless
