@chocolate5lover I see your a new member. Welcome to connect. And to answer your question. Yes. I think sometimes family members are aloof to each other. Often taking each other for granted. I don't think it is intentional it just happens. Family members so often get caught up in their own lives they forget to look around at each other. And in this day and age most are glued to their cell phones. Do you have any close friends you can seek support from?

This must be common. Anyone can be sick and seriously ill, but not MOM. I have heard it all and now live my life and see my doctors and no one gets a report. If I let them know anything, the ranting starts. Mom, you are stronger than all of us. Mom, those doctors don't know what they are doing. Mom I looked up that medicine and it has poison in it. Well, son, did you ever think I might have poison in me? I don't say that, but I am thinking it. I know they love me. I never did this to my mother. But then, I got along quite well without her most of the time. Maybe that is my problem. I never stopped doing everything for them. This is going to be a great intrusion into their lives So, I decided to move to Independent living. I won't need the kids for this and that. I am 76 and I realize it is a bit early to think Independent Living and not my home, BUT, I bet there are more moms behind me. Welcome to Freedom! NOW GROW UP

Thank you! All I wanted was one person who understood what it is like. My 2 sisters were my support group, but both of them are going through their own problems right now and are not available. That is why I sought out this support group. In November I will have had type 2 diabetes for 6 years now. Thank you for your response, I needed to hear from someone who understands this disease.
