Dear Jackie, I am a young person with parkinson's and your letter touched a string in my heart. The role of the carer is not an easy one. Parkinson's disease robs the carer of the partner they had and yet leaves a dependent in it's place. I often think it would be easier/less painful to have a quick disease. All the dreams and plan of a life-time are changed when one partner becomes ill. Yet it must seem as if all the sympathy goes to the person with the illness, when in reality BOTH suffer! So please give your mother a little sympathy love and understanding for her loss.. The fact that she is angry is not suprising. I am angry at times also and I'm sure my partner is to. Kind regards Mary form Aussie. [log in to unmask]
