Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Cathy, Maybe this is her way of "tough love" and if she does this, you'll snap out of this and get better. I am playing Mother's advocate here. I can't believe that she would doing out of meanness, but out of some misguided notion that this can be fixed. Does this make sense? Anyway just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in, I thought I had gotten over most of my grieving of my Mother and my Father, but as the disease progressed I found myself wanting them to be here. My Mom died 3 years ago in August, my Dad 2 years ago in August. take care and I hope your mom and you can patch things up, you too Ginny. Lin -- Re: Jai/Trying to cope Cathy, I know it's upsetting when a mom doesn't sound like she is being very supportive...I have been there. But I also know my mom knows I am stubborn and strong most of the time..so when i do get down and complain about it....she wants the strong stubborn side to come out by pushing me..But she doesn't understand how hurtful she can be by doing that when sometimes you just need someone to listen and be supportive. I am glad I have this support group...cause I don't get much support from friends and family..they just don't understand how painful and disabling this can be. They will always compare knee surgery or back pain to what i am going through and it's not even close. Even though I can't possible understand everything you are going through Cathy I can empathize...which everyone in this group can do so much better then someone that has never been through this. Hoping you a "better" day....Hugs..Ginny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
