went to bed about mid night- dog started crying so went down stairs to see if anything was wrong about 1:30 then back to bed - in and out of sleep till 3:00pm - took half a sleeping pill and turned on Frasier. Thought of trying to communicate but did not want to awake my PD brain, He was quite silent.

Well, at least you have an active life.

Active mind more like it. My mom still thinks I am over playing my PD and has no understanding of what happens when I push to hard. Thus Splatoon. I can unduce wanted stress for short periods of time. Remember the StarTreck episode where the crew was getting old fast. Bradbury was way before his time.

Sometimes the people who love us the most are the last one's to acknowledge our illness, it's too painful for them. Sadly, this deprives the suffering person of the support system they need. It does no good to diminish a person's very real symptoms. Maybe this is why it's easier for you to talk to your daughter - she is more supportive of you.

I experience this too in my family, the reasons are as individual as the person. I've found that objective diagnosis provides evidence of illness and removes any opportunity for denial, the problem become's theirs to reconcile and not mine.

We all grieve differently and this can be a lonely journey. While I don't fully understand all that you are experiencing, I'm hopeful you've found your tribe in this online community. My prayers go out to you.
