| I was a caregiver for two delusional people. My mom unexpectedly
| developed post-anesthesia dementia for the 6 mos prior to her
| death. My ex developed a recurring psychosis during the last 15y
| of our marriage.
|
| They were very different events. IDK if either is similar what
| you're considering.

| them to come true. if something is meant to be its meant to be
| and you have to hang in there.
