dear friends, i just wanted to share this thought with you, which suddenly occured to me this evening. This is, 'I'm actually glad i have PD' It has made me realize how shallow my wife's love is for me; I wonder if she even loves me. Yesterday she said she can't stay with me because of the way i've changed; she said she did not think she could ever want me again. I'll be honest with you having been rejected physically and observing subtle changes in her, one day when i could take no more, i accused her of having an affair - which she has never denied. It is this (accusation) which she is now using to verbally and physically abuse me. Where's the understanding? Where's the affection? Where's the love? Nowhere because they were never there in the first place. Thanks to PD I have become aware of this and I aim to spend the rest of my life with some one who truly loves me. My life is not over it's just about to begin. It has also made me aware how little 2 of my daughters care for me e.g., "dad, we've got our lives to live now". Too busy to even pick up the phone! I have found comfort, support, friendship and love in the PIEN group My sincere thanks and love to all of you Marco ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
