RE: Annettte--Understanding Myositis

[Guest guest]

Sue... I suspect your daughter's attitude may stem from a deep insecurity in herself. That's usually the reason for that kind of rude behavior. Has she ever had any kind of professional help? Does she get along with her siblings (if she has them)? I have a dear friend who is just a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She has this terrible daughter-in-law who is so abusive toward my friend that I don't know how she tolerates it. She tries so hard because of her son, but this girl is just the worst. It must be heartbreaking for you, though, to have your daughter be so unreasonable. Maybe she'll "see the light" so to speak some day. I'll pray for her and for you, too. Annette

Annette, Most of my family read and try to understand the strange

things these diseases can do to you both physcially and mentally.

They are all loving and supporting--except my daughter. I try not to

dwell on it and will continue to try to gather information for her to read.

Her attitude and verbal abuse hurts more than IBM. Thank you for

letting me know how you handled this by furnishing your family

loved ones and friends with information about this dibilitating

disease. You always seem to think things through- a beautiful trait.

Happy New Year and God Bless you my friend. Sue G.
