Merely Me
Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 11:27 AMThank you so much Christina...you are so very kind.
I have not yet travelled anywhere with having my MS and so I am a little afraid. But it will be worth it. I think I am going to plan on seeing my mother in the spring.
What you do here is so very important. Please do keep writing and reaching out to people. You make a huge difference.

Sooner, the better

Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 01:15 PMI know this post is a note to yourself, forgive the intrusion, I do hope you can see her soon. After having read you since August on the <a href="http://www.healthcentral.com/multiple-sclerosis/c/73302/profile">MS site</a> and the <a href="http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/84292/profile">Depression site</a>, when she could understand, she would be extremely proud. I think you've shown what your Mother could have been and that's quite a lot.

trip
David Robbins
Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 02:53 PMI hope you get to make that trip. That's very kind of you to think of her.
My father is an alcoholic. I never wanted to be like him. One day after a bout of drinks, I became enraged. Something snapped in my head and said "you are your father's son." That floored me. From that momet on I ruthlessly did whatever I could to be not like dad. I love my father. He also lives far away. We communciate via emails. I have never had a more meaningful relationship with him. I've been thinking that I'd love to go see him. It would be worth the drive.
I wish you and your mother the best.
Take care,
Dave

Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 04:50 PMThank you for telling me this story about your dad. Although I would never want my mother's mental illness she is a very good person. My father suffered from alcoholism too but he died when I was a little girl.
If you do end up seeing your dad I would love to hear the story.
Thanks so much for reading me and sharing your experience.

Tuesday, September 01, 2009 at 12:04 AMI have just come across your blogs in an attempt to try and get my mother some help for her schizophrenia. I was touched by your articles and can relate to just about every childhood circumstance you admitted to going through and some others you may not have as well. I am desperate for some help for my mother, some kind of help coping from my sisters whom run from this, and some kind of help to cope with this myself and my fear of suffering from it too someday. No matter what I do I can not hide or ignore these fears. I have never met another person in my life other than my sisters that have been in these same circumstances, it was relieving to know I am not alone. I would like to know if you are going to continue to blog as I would like to hear more and maybe talk with you on here sometime. Best wishes to you and your mother.

Hi Merely Me,
You are a loving daughter and will make that trip to see your mother, who as you know of course loves you dearly though she might not always be able to express her love.
Multiple Sclerosis, by the way, is a manageable disease. I have a friend who has MS, and she's doing well, I believe she injects herself with a drug each day to remain in remission. There are various manifestations of MS, so keep the hope, keep the hope.
Please feel free to write more SharePosts at this web site, as we will support you in what you go through.
Best regards,
Christina
