My stepmother is in MC, she has FTD. My brother and I noticed that something was wrong about 12 years ago, yet we couldn't put our finger on what was happening.

We made this a research project, reading and gathering all the information we could, applying some of the obvious signs to her daily interaction.

Honestly, that was what helped us deal with what was going on, acknowledgement and acceptance came along with the research project.

When it got to the point where she had to be moved from AL to MC, we were ready to deal with the move.

The most important thing I have learned is "There is no cure, the downward spiral will continue".

To me, it is not the circumstances, it's how we handle them. We are living too long, do, doo occurs and we must be prepared.

I wish you the very best in your journey with her, practice patience as you will need it.
