Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Esther, I don't post that often but I need to reply to you. I am 32 years old and have had CMT my whole life not knowing it until my late 20's. I just thought I was a dork. Over 8 years ago I dated a guy and it didn't work out. We were both too immature. About a year and half ago we ran into each other. Immediately the old sparks were there and we spent that whole night talking about why we went wrong. We've been back together since that night...and if you ask my mother (who also posts here, and has CMT as well), we are an amazing couple. I had no problem telling him about my diagnosis but I struggled with how I was going to tell him what that means when it comes to kids. When I finally told him, he asked if I thought I told him something he didn't know. We talked for a while about it and he was so amazing I was in tears. There is no one who could be more supportive of me - no one better for me in this world - than this man. What I need to tell you is that I look at CMT as a fabulous filter. I get to see a person's true colors right away. If you share your CMT with someone and they don't react well, then you are blessed with not wasting your time with them. There are people/men out there who will treat you better than you thought was possible (for anyone, not just with CMT) ... you just get to filter them faster. Feel free to email me privately if you want to talk more about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
