This rejection has placed a painful burden on me, because my "family of discovery" (my friends)supports me, but my biological family thinks that Parkinson's can be easily managed by a few simple steps. > Ivan Suzman 47/10 Greetings from Portland, Maine.... land of > lighthouses.... Yes I feel rejected and shunned by my brother. He doesn't want to except that I have PD. Sense no one in the family has had PD, he doesn't believe I can have PD. I have explained to him that PD is not necessarily hereditary and in fact is rarely. I thing he's afraid it could happen to him, so I don't see him very often, three times in the Last two years. My mother on the other hand is just the opposite, she is continually under foot. I don't know who feels the most guilt for me, my wife or my mother. Its hard to look at them when you see the hurt in there eyes. I wished they could all just except that this is something that just happens and that it more than likely has to do with the career that I loved and perused so vigorously. I am having enough difficulty excepting PD myself. I don’t need the aggravation form others. I have been hospitalized once because of the turmoil and am not far from it again, if this doesn’t stop.
