How long had your mom been living with dementia at that point?

I really don't know when it all started, but, uh, I have an inkling.

My dad passed in April, exactly, uh, 2022, so it's been a few years now.

But before that, I would call them to say hi like I normally do, and there would be some nasty arguments.

Like, to the point where I'm like, "I can't talk anymore.

I, I, I'm hanging up," because they're just yelling at each other.

But there was a lot of tension in the calls, and even when we went to visit.

Can you break down for me what the disease has meant for you and your stress level as a person who's now responsible for everything to do with your mother's livelihood, health, physicality, the whole gamut?
