Honestly a bit more of a "just want someone to hear me"

Visited my Parents for Christmas and my Grandma in her assisted living home. I haven't for a year as the last time I did she didn't remember who I was, and it tore my heart to shreds. Toughened my nerves and promised myself I would go see her this year, and it hurt just as much if not more. She remembered me a bit this time, but would instantly forget, but would say how I was quite a nice young man. I got a hug this time but it was during a " not sure who you are" moment.

My Dad is also starting to show signs, at first I thought I was just paranoid but just in the last six months my Mom has agreed he's slipping and it scares her. It scares me too and to put it lightly i've been mentally exhausted since the end of the summer. I'm an only child and the concern and worry about my Dad becoming like how my Grandma is, and the possibility that my Mom may also, since it's her Mom in the home, along with them having me later in life and being generally older (My Dad is pushing 70 while i'm 24) doesn't help.

Trying to cope and figure these things out but it's stressful. I've loved being an only child but at 24 I really wish I had a sibling who could help with this and not leave it all to me.
