[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you all so much.  It really did my heart good just to vent about it.  I miss my husband now that he is working so much and feel so alone in all this sometimes.

You are so kind to offer help and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the two nannies who offered to help watch my twins for me for free this weekend - your kindness will not be forgotten.

We are in South Carolina - a picturesque little town with very few services and a state government that offers even less.  I am fighting on all fronts as it were to get my mother medicare and SS early as well as disability and my Dad's VA benefits.  We'll be okay.  We are truly the lucky ones as we both have good jobs and a home large enough for the kids and my Mom.  As tired as I get I know there are thousands of other adult children struggling with these same issues surrounding Alzheimer's and related dementias without a quarter of the resources we have.

Bless you all.  You have done my tired heart good!  [/quote]

Just to be sure that you're applying for disability under social security--I am close to the SS disability industry, and early-onset Alzheimer's is actually on the list of compassionate allowance impairments, which means an application for disability benefits would be fast-tracked.  (See https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0423022385).

My grandfather had Alzheimer's.  It is an atrocious condition, and my thoughts are with you.[/quote]
