Dear Michel, when there is love in a marriage as you have it, there is no reason to think about leaving. But when love has gone and both people live their own life, and they both tried again and again, then one or both finally come to the conclusion that it is irritating to stay together. T hen there are some reasons why one can stay. The kids, they are a very good reason, but when they start suffering in stead of benefitting the "staying together for the kids", then that reason is not a reason anymore. On the contrary, it has become a reason to leave. Another reason to stay together can be physically convenience. Parkinson is a chronic disease and is getting worse within the years. It is not easy to leave the lifeboat, and start swimming to the coast if you are not sure if you can make it. You don't want to be picked-up by the next life-boat, you want to make that coast. Whatever people may say, and I respect you highly, Michel, it is not possible to climb in the skin of somebody with Parkinson's. I can't describe all my feelings, although I try that for years in my poems aand by talking to people. So if I can't describe it, you can't understand what it is to be a Parkie. Let me try one more time. I just described the feeling I have in the morning when my medication won't kick in. Meanwhile my spacebar broke down. First I used alt+255 but therefore I need two hands so I copied a space, by highlighting it (shift+arrow) and press alt+c (is called "cut") and then use ctrl+v (is called paste) to create a space. Once you have created a paste it will remain till you make a new cut. warm greetings from a sunny Holland. Kees Paap
