Three weeks since my partner was diagnosed and I'm feeling worse than I was a week ago..........I consider myself a strong person but it seems my usual coping strategies are falling apart and I'm feeling so raw. My partner, who after all, is the one who has to really deal with going through this, is coping better than I am. And our 16 year old daughter has decided its time to have some teenage tantrums and assert her 'adult' rights - which may be partly distracting herself from whats really going on - can't be easy to hear when you are only 16 that your fathers dying. Meanwhile there is still work, school, meals, washing etc. while we somehow all get to grips with this new reality. I'd be interested to hear from anyone else what this time was like for them and their family. Also, if there are any forums for young people who have a parent with MND?
