I don’t think Black people realize the long term impacts of drinking and how it can impact the brains cognitive functioning long term. Continued relapses on top of other health complications absolutely can lead to permanent brain abnormalities and other issues such as chemical imbalances that can give symptoms that are extremely similar to dementia.

We are in grave denial that Wendy’s self medicating over the last two decades may have very well did a significant amount of damage to her cognitively.

I am praying that she doesn’t have to spend the last of her years on this earth being taken advantage of and being exploited by others.
