"ou know, I just – I don’t know how long we will be able to handle it at home, quite honestly. I don’t know how we’re going to function, and you know, maintain our lives, you know, as he slips."

"I can totally respect and appreciate anybody who says, I don’t want to have my parent come live with me because I couldn’t handle it. I understand that. There are days where I feel that way. kind of wish this problem would just go away. "
