Hello! 👋 send me a text message! Tell me what your thoughts 💭 are about this episode

Alcoholism, divorce, Alzheimer's and the truth about my suspicion that I had a different biological father, compared to my five siblings; finding him, the same day as making preliminary funeral arrangements for my mom, was the most significant moment of my life.

My mom was battling Alzheimer's in the beginning of 2016. This horrible, debilitating disease took her life on November 9, 2019. When I realized that her mind was forever changed, I knew if I wanted the answers I needed, I would have to move forward with finding the truth in a different way.
