Dealing with PD partner resentment

My husband has never been the empathetic type and I am finding it more and more difficult to accept his blase attitude toward me. He was diagnosed with PD in 2015 and has been under the care of drs. since then...that is not the problem. My problem is his assumption/presumption that I am there for his personal support without being appreciative of me. We would be so much more in sync if he thought to think of me first every once in a while. I call him on it when he needs to hear it, I am not the type to suffer in silence! I am frankly sick and tired of it.

  1. My heart goes out to you, . I can understand your frustrations and I know others here in our community can relate. It is good that you are able to voice your concerns and feelings, which are valid. I shared a group of articles we have dedicated to caregivers and patients - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/patients-and-caregivers-managing-parkinsons-together. Also shared a link to resources for care partners, just in case any of the info may be of interest - https://parkinsonsdisease.net/caregiver/resources. Sending comforting hugs your way. -Jessica (Team Member)
