Actually, I am requesting information from both kids who CAN and CANNOT accept their parent having PD and what your experience has been. I (and another dear friend who posts here) am collecting real-life situations about how "kids" cope with this disease when it strikes a parent. I am hoping there will be all kinds of input, but if not, I'll have to go beat the bushes! I only know of my own children's reactions (and they were nearly grown when I was diagnosed). Please reply here with whether or not I can "Private message" you about sharing your experiences (anonymously, if so desired) OR reply to me at [log in to unmask] - If you leave your telephone # I will also call you (but give me a good time to call). I am convinced that this would be a meaningful resource for not only PWP's but any family dealing with one of its member having a chronic illness. Thanks for helping with this project!
