Yes. My daughter tells me I have munchausens and that I made everything up. Now she is going through her own terrible medical immune issues and that has stopped her telling me that but she won't share with me what's going on with her. I am my grandson's nanny. Sounds enough like Granny, no? Never do things with them except Christmas, Easter and maybe birthdays. But always "timed" exactly. She sends lots of photos when they do things and go places with friends, but the only time we see our grandson is when she needs a babysitter and she lives 4 miles away....Never calls on the phone. Only texts. When my bowel burst and I almost died three times during surgery, and I lost my job I was literally "alone" for over 5 years. No one called or visited. My boss sent me an email about how difficult the first three weeks had been without me!!!! While I was lay in a hospital bed with no doctor for three weeks with a colostomy and wound vac attached to me. So I learned to be alone. Even with a husband living with me. We were just talking about it last night oddly enough. He didn't get it when i said "I was alone"...

As for daughter, neither of mine wants to hear a word about my health issues. I'm not 'allowed' to be sick in their minds. Their father (we divorced long ago) died instantly a massive heart attack 5 yrs ago. That shock+loss was more than they could handle. It was same year that my health tanked. So, I have a theory that they NEED me to be healthy, even if I am pretending!! So, I stopped saying a word about my health 2 yrs ago. They don't ask, and I don't tell. They talk with me much more now that I've had a miraculous recovery (in their minds). It's much easier to be silent on such things bc I realize my health issues are a burden they can't carry. The thought of me dying is unbearable. It's very weird, but I understand it now and not bothered by it. I'm their rock. Mother/daug relationships are complicated on a good day, right? My grandsons have lost 2 grandparents (my ex and their Nana...my SIL mother). And their living grandfather almost died a year ago, too. So yeah. It's on me to stay healthy and ALIVE. And I am very motivated to stick around for their sake and my own. Hugs
