• 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?
