My partner has gone from a beautiful, confident, mentally and emotionally aware person to one of the most insecure, unaware, and dependent people. the devolving ability is fucking mindblowing how much of their functioning really is relying on others. I don't even know what to do anymore. I love them to pieces but its like having a whole traumatized child instead of having a partner that occasionally needs more support than most. like, they will just stare when I'm working hard to acomplish a task for us and not think to ask how they can help or even just use their brain to do much else until much much later even though I ask routinely (even easy things like seeing someone lifting a big/awkward-shaped object and helping to pick up the other end, or deciding to try to go the hardest narroest path possible to get around someone, or forgetting that the thing they used to cart something upstairs can just be folded up if you move the SINGULAR box on top of it.... like WHERE IS YOUR BRAIN??
