As your condition changes, roles also begin to change. One difficulty is that your symptoms and needs may not always be obvious. You may dislike having to keep reminding others that you need assistance. Your family and friends may encourage you to continue to do things that are now difficult for you. They may be partly in a state of denial, having their own problems and anxieties in accepting your changing condition.
Tempers can flair and resentments can build.
Keep the lines of communication open. Look for ways to change behaviors. Find new ways of talking with and helping each other. Be an active participant in managing your needs. Learn how and when to ask for help.
