To @raebaby
I have stopped driving due to extreme anxiety as not only my hands shake but sometimes my whole body. My 86 year old husband with Parkinson’s disease has to be not only the chauffeur but pretty much my caregiver as well. It’s very depressing as I have no sense of independence. No children or pets to spend time with.

I can really feel for you. My husband died with Parkinson's and the help you must have to give him on top of being so anxious has to be awful. I have PTSD from the last time I was driving down a highway and suddenly I couldn't feel the brake. I poked along for 8 miles with everyone honking at me. I was afraid to pull over as I was afraid I'd crash into a ditch. I finally got to my daughter's house. I never drove again.
I have2 cats and my son stays with me often. Other than that, I live alone out in the country.
