Need Advice/Support

This is probably one of the hardest things

I've ever had to do (how do you tell someone who you love and want to have a

long term relationship with that your number might get called in just a couple

of years?) Does anyone out there have any

advice or support they can offer?

There is one thing I’d advise for you to remember and

consider and that is, that you both are very young. One of the good things about being 18 is that

you don’t have to make hard core decisions right now. You both have years of school in front of

you, new experiences and challenges to meet, fun and games to play, job

hunting, apartment hunting etc, etc.

You’re probably several years away from settling down and planning

a family. So, my advice …. tell her

and tell her the truth, you can even go to ’s web site and let her

read about PSC for herself. But

remember, at 18, neither of you needs to make every life altering decision

right now. Date, have fun, don’t

get too serious about life, enjoy being in love and taking each day as it

comes.

My son’s last girlfriend couldn’t cope

with PSC and when she stopped dating him, he quit dating altogether, (he says

he doesn’t think it’s fair to a girl, I think it’s fear of

being rejected again), either way, that’s a big mistake. On the other hand Tyler’s

(his mom use to be a member) girl friend made the decision to become a

Registered nurse after she learned about his PSC, so she could be informed and

take care of him if needed. ((For the old timer’s who remember, they were

still dating last I heard)).

Good luck , I bet you won’t need it though,

you sound like a wonderful young man and any girl would be lucky to have you

fall in love with her.
