I finished one of the packages of disability papers it took me longer because of the dementia that my TBI has caused but I finished it . I also spoke up for myself and I am proud of myself even though it was hard and created tension between my husband and I it was worth it . We are in an unfortunate situation where my father in law has been diagnosed with Warnicky syndrome from all the years of drinking and not eating properly. He lost his memory and now had to be in a secured memory care facility. The problem is we can no longer afford it. And my husband and I are stuck with the responsibility of what we do next . My husband thinks he should move in with us . Did I mention we also have two daughters ages 3 and 7 . And that his father has said things about my daughters that have made me feel very uncomfortable not to mention I am a survivor of Sexual abuse . I don’t know what to do . I told my husband I don’t think I can mentally handle this .... It has been a year since my Suicide attempt last March and all of this happened last July so it has just been so hard to try and get better and take care of everyone else when I can’t remember if I have eaten or what I am supposed to do that day or what I was doing at the time .... how am I supposed to be responsible for another human who also is suffering with that but worse ? I need some advice and some help . We just don’t know what to do in our situation. My husband is the only one working because of my memory loss and the chronic pain I have to try and deal with since my drs took me off my pain medications which is why I attempted suicide in the first place the pain and loss of my memories are on many days unbearable . I am trying to do the best i can and be here on earth for my children but I don’t know if I can handle being responsible for another person.
