Dear Lori-- there is surely such a "link" for many persons--and probably for most of us, one way or another. Think about it....how would you feel if gradually you were unable to do the simple things you always had done, and had to depend on others for help? Part of it may be a need to control SOMETHING--but part also may be a redirection of the rage and frustration one feels in that situation. Feelings often are channelled indirectly, rather than expressed about the thing that provokes them....I can't say more, knowing nothing about your mother and family, but you may very well have hit upon a cause for what seems to be a personality change, and that may help you deal with her with more empathy and understanding. Maybe she needs to talk about how she feels? >My mother has PD and has recently become a very controling person. >Is there a link between losing control of your body and wanting to >gain it back through the control of others? > >Lori Camilla Flintermann, CG for Peter 79/8 Oxford, OH [log in to unmask] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Ask me about the CARE list for* * Parkinson's caregivers ! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
