Bruce Willis’ family is going through a tough time after the actor was diagnosed with phototemporal dementia, a disorder that causes progressive memory loss, behavioral changes and a lack of empathy with others.

This news shocked not only the artist’s fans, but also his collaborators, and even more so his mother Marlene Willis, who at the age of 86 is experiencing what it is like to slowly lose a child in her life.

Everything indicates that the American’s condition is getting worse, despite the care he receives from his wife Emma Heming and daughters Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn, as well as his ex Demi Moore and their three daughters together Rumer, Scout and Tallullah.

This is how Bruce Willis’s mother lives

According to Nius, the elderly person’s life has been seriously affected in recent weeks because of her son, who has stopped relating to his surroundings in the usual way.

He raised $65 million: these are the properties that Bruce Willis sold to cope with his illness

“She thinks that her son no longer recognizes her,” explained Wilfried Gliem, Willis’ mother’s cousin, in an interview with the German media BILD.

“His behavior is very slow, there is mild aggressiveness (…) it is no longer possible to talk to him normally,” say the film star’s relatives.

This could be Bruce Willis’ life expectancy after a dramatic and rapid deterioration: he is slow, aggressive and no longer recognizes his mother

As expected, this dramatic situation resulted in the suffering of Marlene Willis, who always followed the actor throughout his career.

Bruce himself even said in an interview that “without her I wouldn’t be the man I am”, adding that she “instilled in me the discipline of work”.

In 2002, the woman received an apartment worth 7 million dollars from her son on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, and she was also his companion when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006.
