I didn't know abt the Parkinson's, my friend. I'm sorry, that's tough. I wish I could take away the pain. But I'm so glad that you're standing up fiercely for your needs. That's true self love & kindness. We all need to be more like u.
I'm glad I know you.
You've got a lot on your plate my friend, be gentle with yourself.
Just think of what you've achieved by simply posing the question❤️
There's also the toxicity of men thinking masculinity means concrete alpha male achievements & being "hard" in every way.
