I have to watch myself to make sure I don't get too bitchy if bitchy at all....I hate parkinsons! my hubby is slow and and sometimes it gets irritating. But I love him so and give him hugs ALL the time and tell him I love him ALL the time...he can vouch for that <G> I am hyper sometimes and do things faster so that makes it hard also. He gets upset/grumpy quite often that he has so little ON time...I guess that is what you call it. He can even sleep the whole nite and wake up 7 am or so and be wiped out by 10 or 11am !! He just feels like he hasn't sleep for a week...so sad. when he does have his good days then he is pooped the next day! my poor hubby...I do feel sorry for him...but I try and change the mood and tell him all the good things like how well he did at what he did and help him out :) >Like you said caregivers are also victims >Fortunately for me Geo realizes how much this impacts me and he >frequently >both tells me and shows me just how much he appreciates me.

Sometimes I react and fight back to let him *know* that I won't put up with that kind of talk. And sometimes I just let it go. You can't always being the sounding board and just keep taking stuff..EVEN if they apologize later...no good. well..as you can see...you opened up a touchy subject in my heart...thank you for letting me talk. hugs, Coleen :)
