Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 I hear you with your family problems. It is very difficult not to have anyone to talk to -- thank goodness for these wonderful lists and the wonderful people on them! I am an only child, so no brothers or sisters to lean upon. My Mom and I were very very close, but she is now in a nursing home after having a severe a year and a half ago. My Mom does not even know I have MS. I only go and see her on my "good days" so to speak. I miss so very much being able to talk with my Mom about stuff. We used to talk about everything! My Dad I talk to about it a little bit, but not a lot. He and I are very close too, but in a different way. Mainly because I have been his strength and support with everything he has gone through with my Mom.. My kids don't live close and have their own lives. They are very supportive when I talk to them, but you know I can't just moan and complain at them. It is just different -- I just can't do that to my kids. That leaves my husband. He does listen and he is very supportive. But I still don't want to tell him everything either. I hold a lot of stuff in. But these groups are great. You guys listen and I read and learn from all of you. We have each other if not our familys when we would like to have them.
