Dabu - Please tell your Mother - for two reasons, first of all, she will begin to wonder why she hasn't heard from him, and then blame you for not telling her. The other reason is that she will more than likely become more despondent about not going home with you, unless she can ascertain a valid reason. I lost my 24 year old son less than two years after my husband passed, and I would have hated the world if my daughter hadn't told me. BTW, I don't have PD nor am I a caregiver. My love has it, and I helped him a great deal before he moved away. Best to you, and please accept my condolences on the loss of your brother.
