A friend of mine who is a disabled activist says there are statistics 
indicating that when one person of a couple becomes disabled, the other 
usually leaves.  The rate of abandonment is higher if it is the woman who 
becomes disabled.  Many members of our self help group have all kinds of 
problems with relatives and close family over their inability to accept 
and get on with life.
