Just wanted to say hi and wish you all a pleasant holiday weekend
Hi all
I just wanted to wish everyone here a pleasant holiday weekend. I am usually Debbie Downer when I post, and while things are still very tense, I am in a slightly better place.
Although DH has gotten much needed help from the right MD it is still rough. He is not crazy anymore from the meds but now he has to face the truth of his parkinson's disease. He is currently in denial but at least I know where he is coming from and know that the hell with his family was not out of maliciousness on his part but part of the disease and theincorrect meds he was on.
His family has been unbelievably nice lately. I think they finally understand the truth of the situation. I do not go out of my way to contact them but I am polite when dealing with them. I never bad mouth them to dd and make a point of her having contact with them thru dh.
My sis still does not talk to me but I know that it is my bil pulling her strings. While I mourn the loss of my relationship with her I know she cannot deal with ever losing her dh. She will do anything to keep him and if that includes the loss of our relationship,so be it. i only want for her to be happy and I know she does not, and never has had, the strength to stand up to her dh.
I love her too much to cause a rift in her marriage so I will let the relationship go. when the day comes that she needs me I will be here for her.
As for me and dh, I still love him and i know he loves me but this disease, at such a young age is a tremendous hardship that few people our age understand. There is precious little support for young onset parkinson's disease families.
I thank you all for all your unfailing support andI wish you all only the best in this life. It is precious and fragile and please keep that in mind as we remember all the servicemen and woman who protect our freedom, taht we take for granted. Remember, FREEEDOM IS NOT FREE! Too many precious lives have been lost in order to protect our day to day lives.
