The power relationship between care giver and person needing care is an issue that very often springs to mind. This is not a new issue but it is an issue that needs addressing.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member. Hey there. Good question Mags. What immediately comes to mind when I think of your question is that there are many times we must display tough love just like we did with our children. What I'm saying is that someone of illness and age, perhaps dementia or alzheimers, could revert back to the absence of the pre-frontal lobe just like a pre-teen. The older one gets the more the lack of maturity there can be. Power...power?...no not power...it is discipline for good reason. Someone with a sane outlook, yet a tough hide is needed . So a loving caregiver is not seeking power. But rather, know that a good caregiver will, no matter what, see to it that all is well. The winning "ticket" is for all to be safe in spite of worrisome responsibilities.My best. Sterling
That's awful.
jyou are family and everyone needs to get along and help with everysinglething
