In Remembrance
|
We all know that stress is the Enemy, ready to rob us of our ability to function.
We also know that it is common for PD to come along after a stressful trigger such as the flu or tragedies. We also learned in a lengthy thread on the old BT2 that, somewhat to our surprise, the great majority of us had a lot of stress in our lives growing up. I had an alcoholic father. Ron had the Blitz. Most of us fell in between but "high-stress" was typical for our childhoods and/or youth. Now I would like to extend this a little and ask you all this question: Based on what you know of your parent's early lives together, would you rate your mother's exposure to stress while she carried you as low, medium, or high? Was she a worrier? Did she have the flu? Was your dad out of work? What was life like for her during those nine critical months? It may be important.
