Both her Parents reached their 90's without developing Dementia, her father is still alive & so it's realistic this could be from her years of alcoholism
I'm glad her son is being honest about the actual cause of her illness because they always try to undermine the effects of alcoholism in society and diagnose the surface level issues and not the actual problems. I pray she gets deliverance in Jesus name!
I quit drinking alcohol over 3 yrs ago when my youngest brother & his wife were both killed by a drunk driver. I feel so fortunate to have overcome. I can/feel my brother’s presence like a guardian angel watching over me. ❤
This happened to my mom. She has dementia from alcohol. After she stopped drinking it only improved a little bit. Now after 11 years after diagnosis it’s getting worse. Trying to get her into a care home now. It’s really sad. People don’t understand how bad alcohol can ruin your brain as well as body. And she was a “working alcoholic“ meaning she went to work everyday and drank at night and very few people knew how bad her drinking was.
As a nurse I’ve seen people with metabolic encephalopathy after alcohol withdrawal and having permanent cognitive defects.
being quick to defend alcohol is hella strange lol
My dad died of cirrhosis. He had alcohol induced dementia. Two words: No Fun.
I’m on my way to being completely sober and I cannot wait . This is so scary
Alcohol consumption can be a leading factor. Large consumption over 30-40 years can really pickle your brain.
This is what happened to our mother. The doctors called it Wet Brain, it’s so sad to watch and live with! Our mother passed away not knowing who any of us was!
I didn't know alcohol dementia was a thing until I met someone with it years ago. It really stuck with me. Poor man was only 43 years old and brain MRI showed his brain looked like someone in their 80's.
We should really all quit alcohol. The stuff in any amount is actually more dangerous than we've known up until very recently.
My sister was diagnosed with early onset dementia at 62 yrs old and passed away at 67 yrs old 3 yrs ago. I miss her so much and think of her every day. She drank every day. She loved her vodka. I loved my wine. I’m 64 yrs old. I quit drinking 2 and 1/2 yrs ago. I truly believe she would still be here today if it wasn’t for alcohol. And that alcohol most definitely contributed to her dementia. Alcohol is poison.
That poor kid. He’s so young to have a chronically ill parent. He seems like a nice guy.
I had no idea that dementia could come by way of alcohol. Learnt something new today
Got a buddy with dementia and I have always thought it was alcohol induced. The guy drank a couple pints of whiskey every day for 35 years...at least 35 years.
You know what's invasive? That a lawyer is in charge of a person's life, sending her somewhere even her relatives don't know where, blocking her family from her accounts and controls her life. How can someone los control of their life like that?
I always found Wendy way too acerbic and was never a fan. But she’s been through a lot - especially the dreadful mess with her ex husband and all that he’s put her through. It’s clearly all taken a massive toll.
3 months sober from alcohol the hangovers were brutal I'm done with it 👍
Her manager always makes sure she has a drink. If a person is an alcoholic, you drink around them and give them alcohol? She is being exploited.
