Episode 13 explores how Parkinson’s can strip away the image of being a strong male. As men, we want to provide for our families, protect the ones we love, and be recognized for our independence. Parkinson’s chips away at this image by attacking us physically, emotionally, and mentally. Despite being recently diagnosed, Daniel is already struggling with not being a provider or a strong father figure for his son. Bryan and Daniel attempt to discover a way to redefine what it means to be a strong male when your body stops working as it should. You are not alone in having a difficult time transitioning from a pre to post-Parkinson’s man. Add your experience and suggestions to the conversation.
