Annie's Mailbox: MS patient needs support outside family

I also have multiple sclerosis and have had it all of my adult life.My mother,brother and a sister accused me of faking it and used to tell my little children that I was faking it and forging the papers whenii showed them as proof. my aunt told them she was with me at the emergency room and Ms clinic visits but they just said "she is faking it" We were treated like garbage and my children were never part of the family.I raised them alone without my family.I did not come from a very nice or loving family.I never once heard i love you from my mother and I cannot ever remember her ever giving me a hug.I made sure and still do that my kids and grandchildren know that I love them every day of their lives.They mean the world to me and I wanted to end the abuse with my mother,brother and sister and family.I still love them,but we live hundreds of miles from them and I do call mother once in awhile to let her know I still love her
