You haven’t lost IQ points, you’re just too tired to use them. Some days I forget words and can’t even face reading the paper, but others I can complete fiendish level Sudoku and I was on the winning team both times we played Scrabble on a family holiday (don’t say coincidence
( ... )
it doesn't feel like it :( I can write coherently, but forget what I have written immediately... and these days are getting few and far between again. Oh well, hopefully, things will improve a bit again, as they did for a while

Just a thought and feel free to ignore it if it’s not possible, but could BK have a tidy each day? Maybe at a set time or a set part of the house? In return you don’t nag or move her stuff unless it becomes a trip hazard. Then it’s not putting anyone’s needs first just common sense. She could label and decorate new boxes as you get them to encourage their use and start new memories. Aah, the difficult transition from dependent to independent children - probably one of the longest projects you’ll ever undertake and definitely the most fraught!! Makes HS2 look like a picnic. Balancing your own needs with your child’s takes practice and negotiation. I favoured the long talk approach, but half the time I think it was boredom rather than my carefully considered points that won the day! And rewards - teenagers scoff but mine responded to star charts by competing which got results. I read the Sebastian fic because it was linked to Poisoned Minds. Much as the DW fan says adventure, I think he would take the logical option and stay.
