My parents are 57 and 63. My mother is erratic, forgetful, and when she gets mad she sometimes screams and throws things. My father is slowly going deaf, getting slower and more stubborn and forgetful as well. They can be infuriating sometimes, but I know that they’re aging and I can’t be mad at them. How do I deal with this, especially early on in preparation for further down the road?
At 57 and 63 your parents shouldn’t be quite as bad as you say they are. This sounds like significant cognitive decline to me. I would expect such behaviour ten or twenty years later, but 57 is very young for this level of cognitive degradation.
I hope it’s not as bad as you make it sound, otherwise I would check with a medical professional in case it’s a sign of early onset dementia.
Yeah, it’s definitely young to have these problems. My dad is turning 70 in 3 months and he still regularly goes out running and fights with me over which new phone is best lol
