YES! or sometimes i also have to explain things multiple times because they hear the first couple words and start freaking out, then they don’t hear what else i was saying

The gap and rift between us has become so great that I have to use AI to speak w them.

This! I feel like I have to remind them of who specific people are or what things are when I’m telling them a story. It’s insane to me how my mom can remember all my medical history since birth but can’t remember my friends names 💀

I’m in the middle of wedding planning, my mom is 10x more stressed about it than I am for some reason. She’ll just occasionally break down crying because I’m not giving her specific tasks and she’s scared to overstep?? She also just can’t handle any form of sarcasm right now which is pretty funny. Thankfully my younger brothers help with damage control, but it’s getting really annoying lol. Only 50 something days until she will return to her default settings(not freaking out about everything)!
