Better late than never? (first post)

[angel with wings]

hi and welcome. can relate to you too. I lose a lot of memory and rely on family to fill in the blanks. I lost a lot of time and cant remember half my life, except photos to prove it. I have a lot of half stories that I cant remember the other parts. family tells me about events I was never at. (but I was, according to them). I often substitute a photo as my memory. I only remember it because I saw a photo of it. I switch in conversations too and i
have no idea what was said. again I rely on someone else to tell me what I missed.
I have told a few trusted people, the overall experience has been good. but I did have those few who backed away some, and those few who talk down to me like I no longer understand. I hate that. im not stupid, just absent sometimes. I am very careful who I trust with this info.

so welcome, you are among friends who understand.
