Dear Hart,
My husband has Parkinson's too. He also is reluctant to ask for help, though the help is actually for me, not him. I'm having varying degrees of success in getting this point across, because if you and I break down, Hart, the whole situation goes pear shaped. I sure hope you can get some help and he won't be too upset with you. This is so hard, and I know it's these men who are bearing the brunt of something horrible that's robbing them of the things they use to defined themselves. It's a tragic disease, but we have to not feel so guilty that we can't acknowledge that it's robbing us too. Hang on and come here to be cheered. --Essie
