Guest guest Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 I am so appreciative of the link to the "But you look good" site. It was as if someone was reading my mind. I sent it to my friends and family and it helped some to understand better. The hurtful things said like if you were a more spiritual person you would do more or go to church sick or whatever are really hurtful to me. I have a tremendous amount of faith in God, and was once very active. Now I am not so active, and it is hurtful the things people say. I have 5 children, the youngest is a 12 year old daughter who is, typical of all 12 year olds, having a hard time since this is a rough age in the best of circumstances. Add to that mom's illness and the stress in the house and it gets rough sometimes. I worry and worry if she will weather all this ok and turn out ok. I try to understand how hard this is on my family and to ignore them when they say the mean things they say because I am sure it is stress related and they do not mean them. The words still hurt. Anyway, thanks for being ears in the night as I sit here crying, pounding out stuff on a keyboard. I am sorry I have not answered each of you, but I have laughed and cried and rejoiced with you. And thanks for all I have learned and for helping me not feel like I am crazy or the only one facing a certain issue. Hugs and warm wishes to all of you wherever you find yourselves in your journey.
