Angelle, I only know you from a few RX chats but still wanted to put in my 2 cents here. I'm glad to see you concentrating on your studies and wish you 100% success with that. I have a daughter your age (I think we chatted about that before) and try to drum that in her head too. She is back east now living with my parents, and dealing with my Mom's little lapses as well. It's not easy, I know.
My advice there is to take advantage of whatever help is offered you. There are different degrees of the disability, and not necessarily dire, so just take it one day at a time. Try not to stress. Best of luck to you and yours.
