Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hi Everyone Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the summer! I am trying to read the emails but have been dealing with some eye pain due to cornea damage. question for anyone with insight on this-----My mom in Kansas in emails always says to get a job! No matter what is wrong with me she mentions that a job would help!?? I have been on SSDI for 8 years and am permanently disabled. Why does it bother her so so much that I don't work?? she is 58. I have been dealing with migraines and she says a job would help with stress of money issues and headaches would go away.........NOOOOO. I have super low feriton iron levels in the blood and have to go to hemotologist next month and get iron infusions at the cancer center. A job would not cure this. Anyone get this??? I am trying to keep a relationship with her and get along but it is very hard with these uniformed ideas. And when I do inform her about all the health issues going on she says I am too focused on it etc. Thanks for listening Colleen in NY **************Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 close relatives do bug us like that, w/ my dad, his answer is LOOSE WIEGHT, is tacked onto everything, I have stopped talking to him, but still send hello cards. Some relationships are toxic like that. You know your limits etc. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
