 So I need some advice. Anything would help really. About five years ago my dad was diagnosed with Frontal Lobe Dementia. Its sort of like alzheimers but has its differences. He lived at home and my mom and I took care of him here until about a year and a half ago. It has been the most tough on me, and I have no idea what to do. I have my own life now, a wonderful Fiancee,l but no family anymore. I express my concerns in an adult manner but no one listens, not my sister, and definately not my mom. I am really hurt by my dad not being here but more so by the fact that no one listens to me and no one takes time to ask me how I am doing. My sister got married last year and now makes no time for family at all. She never sees my dad which I can understand I guess. But she wont even call me to see how I am doing. I am only 22 years old, I gave up everything for nothing it seems sometimes. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks
