Dave Purdy - What you said about partners vs caregivers may be true to a certain extent. I am not my love's partner (he's the one with PD), but I care for him. I suppose you mean that as a partner, it is someone who lives with you and shares every possible moment with you, but some of us are with our PWP for only a little while each week. So I feel the Caregivers' list is for anyone who cares for a PWP whether they are married, living in, or just see them often. Please understand that all caregivers are not live in's, yet we all benefit from the input on this list, and hope you and yours will continue to contribute. Jo Ann from Houston.
