At Wit's End (Again)
My 78-year-old husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2009. His course has been slowly progressive and I am struggling with his lack of engagement with any treatment. He spends almost 14 hours a day in front of the television, has poor hygiene, does little movement (only walks between the television room and the bathroom) and has little to say about much of anything. He is under the treatment of an excellent neurologist and also sees a psychiatrist. I am struggling to stay in the marriage with someone who has little interest in life in general and, frankly, would be better off alone. He is not a companion and functions as a patient. Just need to put it out there.
