Hi everyone. so i am a 15 year old girl. and i just found out my dad has ALS. but my parents don't know that i know. i accidentally saw all the information. and I'm on the verge of a complete mental break down. I'm so overwhelmed with emotions. incredibly scared and sad about what is going to happen- i feel like I'm always about to cry, and I'm always upset. I know they are trying to protect me and my younger sister by not telling us about it, but every time i look at my dad i know that soon he will be gone and that i know this but i shouldn't. its almost guilt i guess. but i don't know how to go on with life.
I need someone to tell me what is going to happen in the next year or so. and what will start happening to him, how fast symptoms will really start showing (he went to the doctor only for a bad cough- and they discovered this i guess!) and how long he as left. i need some help. how worried i should be. please. i don't know what to do anymore.
