She doesn’t know, and neither does her husband, my father. My brother does, however, and he has been going to support groups for it. I’d just like some opinions and input. Thanks in advance.

Catbread ಠ_ಠ asked:


This is a touchy subject since I have it. I’d like to know this because some websites say that this is not true while other say that it is true. I don’t want Alzheimers later on in my life. Seriously, this scares me.
