Does anyone else get irritated and angry dealing with HD?Tabout 1 year ago2626 people shared this0 comments

I'm 19 years old and My mom was diagnosed with huntingtons when i was in elementary school, she is in the middle stages now, but seems to be doing well on her trial medicines and tests. I have 2 sisters and I feel like I am so hostile towards my mom all of the time. I stay in my room and almost everything she does, irritates me. I don't like feeling this way, but i can't help it. Does anyone else get this way?
