mother in law to be with Parkinsons
2 Answers
Sorry not sure whether to put this in here or health.
My mother in law to be was diagnosed with parkinsons last year. I would not have realised if I hadn't been told and I did not know her before. But there are no outward signs.
Just before xmas she was in her other sons house and tried on a pair of boots she had found and told us all about them - it turned out my fiance had hidden them at his brothers, they were for me.
On saturday I thought it would be nice to show her my wedding dress, I tried it on, the only comment that I heard was that I ought to try getting some of those knickers with lycra in to help my belly (I am a size 8 bottom half!) I should have found it funny I guess, but I found it very hurtful and cried myself to sleep.
Aparently it is the medication she is on, it seems to be like a truth serum. I have tried finding out about the illness, but perhaps if anyone has experience they could give me somewhere to look?
The other thing is that I now feel as though I am avoiding her. I don't want my wedding day spoilt, which sounds selfish, but I don't know how to deal with it.

Thank you CC.
I have been told by both her sons and her sister in law that she has changed and now is not afraid of speaking her mind, sometimes a litte too much. She may not realise she is doing it because I don't think anyone wants to upset her.
I am new to all this and know that it affects different people in different ways, so any guidance would help.
