Our fears as children of aging folks with Parkinsons brings up so many family issues, some of which I myself personally had just thought I was getting a hold on, but now that Parkinsons has joined the family and had its 10th birthday for my mother, the pain, compassion, tensions, fears are daily. I only know one thing right now and that is that even tho others may not do things the way i might hope or want, that is how it is and i must take care of myself, while giving support in what ways are possible. It seems to be a constant readjustment as far as what those ways are. Family counseling can be a wonderful thing, but if the family will not participate, we can at the least get help for ourselves. If I am stronger I will be able to offer more and deal with more. debbie
