Bruce Willis' daughter, Tallulah, has revealed her difficulties coming to terms with her father's frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis and shared details about its impact on her family's life.
"I keep flipping between the present and the past when I talk about Bruce: he is, he was, he is, he was. That's because I have hopes for my father that I'm so reluctant to let go of," the 29-year-old daughter of the "Die Hard" star and his ex-wife Demi Moore wrote in a lengthy first-person essay forShe recalled the first signs of her father's illness, which the family initially announced was aphasia, a condition that can hinder communication.
Tallulah Willis also spoke candidly about her own health - her ADHD and Borderline Personality Disorder diagnoses, and her struggles with anorexia nervosa, recalling that by spring 2022 she weighed about 84 pounds and couldn't walk around her neighborhood in case there wasn't somewhere to sit down to catch her breath.
"Suddenly I realized that I would never get that moment, my dad speaking about me in adulthood at my wedding. It was devastating. I left the dinner table, stepped outside, and wept in the bushes."
