It sounds like your message got cut off — it seems like you may be dealing with some frustration around boundaries with your mom, especially while managing Parkinson's. That's completely understandable.
Living with Parkinson's can make it even more important to have clear, respected boundaries with family members. When those boundaries aren't honored, it can add stress, and stress can actually worsen PD symptoms.
Here are some tips for setting boundaries that others with Parkinson's have found helpful:
- Use calm, clear "I" statements like "I need to be notified when plans are made with my son" rather than accusatory language
- Keep it simple — you don't need to over-explain yourself
- Remind family that managing Parkinson's means reducing unnecessary stress is a health priority, not a preference
- If your boundary is tested again, have a ready response prepared so you're not caught off guard
A MyParkinsonsTeam member shared that family struggles can be really wearing, and that loved ones sometimes need time to truly understand the challenges of living with PD.
It may help to have a calm, direct conversation with your mom about how being kept in the loop is non-negotiable for your wellbeing. You deserve that respect! 💙
