• Retinitis pigmentosa

• Within the last few years, my mom was diagnosed with Retinitis pigmentosa. Her vision was always pretty awful and she was always walking into stuff & the family would joke about it. As the years have progressed, it has gotten worse and even though she still drives (not at night thankfully), I still have genuine concerns about her well-being. She won't stop driving (even though we live in a city with excellent public transportation) and she's too stubborn to go to a support group about it or even discuss it really.
  
  I hate to watch my mother slowly lose her vision. I can't go to the store with her without her walking into a display or someone else. I want to help her but she won't let me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

• My husband is in the same predictament, especially when it comes to walking into people at stores and it gets really upsetting when he blames others for being in his way. If you need to vent, let me know, I feel sort of alone in this.
