re ldn is my security blanket

[Guest guest]

We didn't like him anyway, but that's beside the point. It was, however, a concern that came to mind when we were told his mom has MS.

However, since the subject was brought up. I guess it is possible that anyone my children date may have some reservations about Their father having MS.

22 years ago, when I just got engaged and had the worst, longest, most major attack (but have recently learned it was NOT, as I thought, the First) ever, Had we known it was MS, my future-intended may have, indeed, decided GOODBYE.

May be prejudice, may be whatever you want to call it, but I'm sure it does happen. Actually, when I was DX and I instantly realized 1981 was clearly an MS attack (finally no longer a mystery), my wife did joke "well, if I knew that back then, I may not have married you". Maybe it WASN'T a joke. Hmmmmmm.....

My opinion, but no, you shouldn't have said anything to the daughter about not getting too involved. I have two sons, and if every mother of their girlfriends had told them that, we would have missed out on some special times. Besides that, it sounds very prejudice. The disabled have a difficult enough time getting along in a world that isn't exactly accessible, and there are always going to be those who are afraid of us as if we had the plague, but we don't need our own kind turning on us! I just don't believe in instilling a spirit of fear in my kids. Marcie (PPMS) In a message dated 8/27/2004 10:58:55 AM Central Standard Time, larrygc@... writes:

I have 2 kids too. My daughter (18) started dating someone last December and his mother has MS. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything to her, but I told her not to get too involved, it may not be a good idea for long term.
