Hello,

I found this group thru a Google search. I will spend some time
reading prior messages as the time allows.

I just find myself so sad and wonder who else is going through what
our family has been going through the past few years.

My 54 yr old brother was diagnosed with Alcohol Induced Amnestic
Disorder which they also label Kordakoff's Syndrom sixteen months
ago, I believe he probably had it longer, he had been living with
our mother who was enabling him for two years prior to that. He was
taken to a hospital when she died in December 03 and has been in an
adult home since.

Last week he was taken to a psychiatric hospital and I am
ranting...but it just seems like no one really understands all this
crazy stuff....this is a man with a Law Degree...and he has his
intellect intact..he just can't remember ten minutes ago and won't
accept the fact he is disabled. Thinks he can return to working in
a law firm.

I feel better just writing a little...all I seem to do is feel very
very sad.

Thanks,
Sandy
