My husband has been cold and distant since I told him about my Alzheimerâs worries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Both my husband and I have struggled over the years in our 56-year marriage. We have different personalities, and look at life and handle things very differently. He can be kind and patient, or totally the opposite to those values. In my view, he is a good person. I have been paying close attention to my memory as my father was diagnosed with Alzheimerâs at my age. I consulted someone specialising in this field and answered the initial basic questions about family history etc. I return to see
âIt was my dream job â and now I feel like an utter failureâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A couple of months ago I shared my feelings of being overwhelmed, exhaustion and âmonkey mindâ with my GP, who suggested I be assessed for ADHD. It blew my mind; it wasnât something Iâd ever considered before. I wrongly assumed ADHD = obvious physical restlessness. I went private and was diagnosed with moderate to severe combined ADHD (inattentiveness and hyperactivity). Meanwhile, I watched and read interviews with ADHDers, and for the first time I felt like my experience of the world w
âIâm a dad who canât stop crying that family holidays with my daughters might be at an endâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We had a family holiday a number of weeks ago and, for the whole build-up to it, my wife said this was the last of our real family holidays. She was saying this because my two youngest kids are now both heading towards 18. And we have an older girl. The youngest will probably have a friendsâ holiday next year and the older girl has big plans already in progress. We have always done lovely family holidays since they were very young, both at home and abroad. I am gutted about this, crying over i
âIâm happily married with three young children - but loneliness has become a feature of my lifeâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am looking for advice on how to combat a new and unexpected loneliness that has become a feature of my life over the years since turning 30. Iâm happily married with three young children, but the responsibilities of caring and working have entirely curtailed what I now realise was quite a more social existence that I now deeply feel the lack of. A combination of emigration, changing life stages and modern demands on the family unit mean that many of the friendships I considered important hav
âI feel guilt and rage about living in Australia while my family is in Irelandâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My problem is the amount of guilt and occasional rage I feel about living in Australia while my family is in Ireland. Most of my money and my holidays have been spent in going home for Christmas, summer holidays and now weddings. I had always wanted to travel the world, and Asia in particular, but if I even hint at a big trip, the guilt is laid on thick, and I just donât know how to avoid it. Even if my family do visit me in Australia, I have to take holidays to ferry them to all the places th
