It has been a while since I posted on here. Why? Well sometimes you just have to get on with life and there is no time for anything else.

I feel like I am loosing one of the most important people in my life. You only get one Mum and mine isn't doing so good. The woman who has been my rock through good and bad is getting forgetful and aggressive. Getting her to admit that she has a problem and needs to see her GP is a battle I am loosing. 

The thing is I know, my Dad knows and the GP knows that something is wrong. Mum knows something is wrong but no one wants to use the D word. Dementia. Early onset Dementia. There said it, got it out but still have no idea how I tell the smart woman who raised me and supported me through the worst times in my life that she is likely to forget who I am. I have been down this path before, a Grand mother who couldn't remember any of us. That was hard enough but this is tearing me apart.

The stress of dealing with the issue is having an effect on the rest of my life, on my children and on my sex life. I have to be grateful that I have a partner who understands even makes light of it. British black humour at   it's best. 

So if I go quiet it is not because I am bored of blogging, not because I have run out of things to say. My journey continues but at a different pace and sometimes the route changes and we take a detour.
