@FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter yeah they stayed. It was good I got some time alone and they didn’t have to worry about me. We made the best of it

I’m glad you could each get your needs met!
Relationships are really hard. Do you feel comfortable around your boyfriend’s family?
No because my boyfriend tells them too much about me as if there’s nothing to hide, and there is a huge stigma

@Winterblues, that’s kind of mean. If he knows there’s a lot of stigma in the family why is he airing you dirty laundry, especially when it’s something you can’t help. I hope you can have a productive heart to heart with him about that. In lieu of his family, he could talk to a counselor or religious leader or join the family support group here online.

Please ask him to stop. If they aren’t supportive, it’s not helpful.

I understand about being treated differently. My family has a lot of health issues. My sister is sza, too, but she also has epilepsy. My mom was once visiting her (she lives in another state), and she had a seizure. Afterwards, she was fine and ready to go out. My mom refused and started acting all weird around her. Makes me feel awful; I love my sister so much. Mom also gets off the phone really fast if I start talking about MI. Dad is good to talk to, but mom just makes me sad sometimes.

I’m sorry to hear you struggle in that way @Happy_H. It makes a huge impact how our parents treat us. Do you think she realizes what she’s doing?

I’m not sure. She lived with me for about 4-5 years, but that was before I got sick. She was awesome then, helping with the kids and being my partner in crime with dog rescue. Then she met a man, and she changed.

It can be really sad how people change. I’m sorry you don’t have her anymore in the ways you did. Have you grieved appropriately?
I never thought I needed to! I definitely miss the way she was, though. What do you recommend? Gosh, you’re a sweetheart!

He said when I did ask that he said something cause I was acting funny
Have you read through the stages of grief? Or studied loss? You’ve experienced a significant loss, and that change can produce many thoughts and feelings. I think you start by recognizing and naming what you’ve lost. We’re here to listen, if you want to share!
Yeah I can relate
