Hello All,
I just read the above comment and I too have to agree , while we all share BC which is bad enough , our own individual family trouble, struggles are only ours to deal access and address .
I had a wonderful moment yesterday , my eldest son had his University graduation , I cried, not only because I was proud but because I was alive to see it happen, his professor was sitting next to me , thought I was a total nutcase, pity I couldn't tell him that I have Mets , my youngest understood , but now doesn't want to attend his ceremony , so I don't get sad.
So I picked myself up and pretend all is ok , I guess our lives became a mirror, we show people the reflection but not the substance and yes the rest of the family , doesn't want to hear when I'm in pain or down , only the good stuff.
@kmakm , my dog and cat have became my most loyal companions, so much better than people , I understand the "dead inside bit too" it's just sometimes to difficult and takes to much effort to care , then the "not going to beat me " rolls in and you go another round , until the next moment that you cant do something that 12 months ago you did with your eyes closed.
