While I struggle with this daily, my immediate family behaves as though my worries and fears are of no importance.
In my family, I am alone.

@katl819 you are not alone. This is my life too. I try not to allow insensitivity make me feel alone - and it’s good to know at least there is this huge Mayo Connect Community that cares. It really does hurt, however, when those who are supposedly closest to you brush off your concerns. Been there, so I understand you perfectly!
