Step daughter very jealous of my bio daughter.

I have two kids (3f and 6m) I have three step kids (6m, 7f and 8m)

We have full custody of all kids except my son, who spends 3 nights a week with his dad.

My step kids don’t have a relationship with their mom. When my husband and their mom separated, her visitations became less and less. They have been separated for 4 years. She lives down the street yet never sees the kids. We was a friend of mine. No bad blood between her and I. We run into each other on occasion and chat.

My stepdaughter is very jealous of my daughter. She has explained to me that it is because my daughter has more luck than she does. I talked to her one on one and explained how my daughter does not have her bio dad but she has my husband, just as she has me. She understands but says she doesn’t know how to stop feeling jealous.

Anyone been through something similar? I hurt for her so much because I know she is in pain, I just don’t know how I can help her. I snuggle her, spend one on one time with her. We work on homework together.

I am trying to understand what is happening with a family friend,possible multi-schematic brain disease

73, 5’6”, maybe 140 pounds. Non smoker. Currently taking Tylenol and fiber pills. He is from the States but we live in Mexico.

I am a caretaker for a 93 year old woman. She has dementia but her health is very stable.

Since about a year ago, her son, 73, has been declining mentally. First is was confusion about timelines then progressed to confusion about conversations he had or hadn’t had. 6 months ago he had surgery on two hernias, one in the belly button and one in the groin. He had back surgery to help some lower disks and then had to have another surgery because the first one was unsuccessful. ( I think it was space between to disks and that space was first filled and then a plate was put in.)

He now has trouble spelling his own name. He cannot use his phone, email, or even look something up online. He gets overwhelmed by simple questions. He complains about his body hurting but each day it is a different area.

I insisted on him getting a scan a few months back but he never did any sort of follow up. He is now refusing to acknowledge what is happening or he has convinced himself there is nothing happening. He has multiple businesses that he cannot run. His brother flew down to try and help but he also has a difficult time completing tasks and gets confused.

Is there anything someone can tell me? I am at a total loss of what to do and how to move forward. I am helping him in every aspect of his life but he will need 24/7 care very soon as he cannot take take of himself. Everything suggests Alzheimer’s or something of the sort. But what can I do if he does not get medical help?

Here is findings of the MRI, it is translated from Spanish so the wording might be off slightly.

Our youth loves MJ

I live in Mexico. I have a friends group from multiple countries. Today there was a birthday party at a beach club and the DJ put on MJ. All the kids were singing along. I asked my step daughter, “who is singing,” and about 5 kids all screamed, “MICHAEL JACKSON.” Of these kids, only 2 speak English.

Later in the evening, I had my kids go ask the DJ to play Thriller and my daughter went nuts and danced her ass off in the pool. She looked at me to remind her the dance moves.

My heart is so full. MJ will live for years, decades, centuries.
