I'm a widow and my kids have always depended on me to be strong and run things - and still do, so they are pretty much in denyal about the PD; there isn't much other family....my friends just want to be assured that I am okay, and I think I'm being voted off the island at work...fortunately, I have a very supportive Sunday school class! (And long term care insurance) I don't know how this will work as things get worse... Oh - and I see a wonderful psychologist as I can afford to and that really helps. My cat is also very understanding, maybe the most.
