Amy#WhatImWritingAbout
Recently a family member with whom I have a complicated relationship was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. In truth, it feels like I don't really have a relationship with him, we barely speak. We differ in almost all of our views and values, but we're very similar in two ways: we're both very stubborn and very protective. This diagnosis has led to contact with other family members with whom I had cut ties. Kinda makes you wish there were a flow chart or something for navigating it.
