I'm sorry your mother is treating you this way. I know it
is tearing her apart that you are in such pain and she doesn't
know how to handle it. If I am ever upset about something, my sister gets
mad at me, weird, but she just can't take me being upset.
Let us be your family Tracy and be strong for you, until your real family
learns how to cope.
Stay strong sweetheart.
Maybe writing a letter to your family members could help. They can't talk whilst
you are talking. The only choice they have is to sit and read your letter. Tell them in a
loving way what their anger at your illness is doing to you. You have enough stress
to cope with without them adding shame to you, as if you could just
wake up one morning and suddenly be well again.
Love Jayne
