isn't the pecan the state tree for texas? :)

traveling is a time of adventure and well adventure....what more could there be

My husband's family is riddled with Huntington's Disease. I did not know this when we married. The unexpected journey through it has been as surprising for me as his journey through cPTSD has been for him.

The winds of change are in his family's willingness to acknowledge "The Elephant in the Room."

I feel like I am gossiping when I discuss "their business." I left my birth family in my teens. More than 40 years ago. I have been watching my husband's family drama for 33 years...

Sigh...

Sounds like an interesting adventure! Does it make a cool design on a road map when highlighting the trail?

Travel safely...

Arfie, if this is effecting you, which it is. Then "Sharing" is not gossiping.
This particular problem is hereditary, so your children, may also suffer.
Definite concerns to deal with.

Yea, jewells, there are huge elements of that in there. HUGE!!! Now, go tell that to a 250 pound redneck with a small town love of secrets... Should we mention that one of those small towns is called, "Godley?" Mind your f-words! "H-word" in this case.

I went on the war path when my youngest son started developing serious anxieties over it. I threatened to draw my husband's blood while he was sleeping. He decided to let a pro do it and tested negative. My sons are physically in the clear. Emotionally??? It is a hard thing to pretend you don't notice.

With recent sharings... Interesting changes in the winds...

Glad your family tested in the clear.

Are you still on the road?

Jeez I would have offered to draw blood for you Arfie. My problem? when is too much?

I am back in my studio for now, Muji. Huntington's denial is a different breed of repression than my amnesia level PTSD, but a common element seems to be that once you poke a hole in the denial dam, the gushes are totally unpredictable. If another someone calls, I will off again, Arf-speed.

My husband's genes tested negative, but his jeans are still quite full from a life time of watching the progression of the disease. He has already lost one of his two brothers. The other is spiralling.

Yea, jewells, when I threatened to draw my husband's blood in his sleep, he seemed to be remembering that my combat training is leagues ahead of my medical training.

Be careful Arfie. and stay safe!
