I still have both parents. It's terrifying to think of losing them, even though Im not that close with them.

I was 34/35 when I lost my parents. My dad had liver failure. My mom had dementia. It messed me up for a long time. I had nobody, just my son. And it was right around 2020 when my mom passed. So I couldn't even get hugs. I definitely lost a piece of my sanity/security. I've had to learn to do everything alone, so I'm extra weird to people who don't understand.

Not good. But it's the cycle of life.
