Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Hi Vera, Remember the Lord will never leave you nor foresake you. He will never put a heavier load on your shoulders, just talk to him. No worries Vera you can talk to me anytime - we all feel the pressure is just too much for us to cope with at times. We are Christians and we always turn to God to deliver us from our troubles and he always answers our prayers. One day there will be a miracle cure for MSA, but noone knows when this will happen, but it will! Families can be an extra burden especially when a member is sick. I've been through a similar experience with my late mother and my sister. Which resulted in my sister and I not communicating for twenty years! The Lord moves mountains -my sister and I have now been in touch for the past eleven years and the waters are very smooth. However at the time I felt like I was going through hell and I had noone whom I could talk to let alone reason with. You have a friend in Donna work with her, she's been sent to help you both. I know it's tough for Fred especially after all he has done for his family (and that's a lot) but he has to remember that " the past is the past " don't look for paybacks, it won't happen. Learn to forgive and forget and the rewards will come to him. Stress in itself is a killer - Al's a natural worrier himself which doesn't help his mood swings. Fred sounds exactly like Al in this category. Try letting Fred write his letters (with your help of course) but include a letter from you asking them to try and understand that this is good theory for Fred and please don't be angry with him. Don't worry about the family not accepting Fred being sick - they are afraid. Pray for them. " You " first and foremost must look after " Yourself " first! Don't let yourself get all worked up especially when Fred is mad. Remain calm all the time - I know it's very difficult but try. If Fred continues on just walk away and stay away until he calms down and reasons with you. Then you talk calmly about matters - if he gets angry - walk away again. Try and get more time out for yourself. Do you get any help at all? My time out is when I go to work, but then the weekends can be very interesting for both of us!
