> Now Part 3 .> What kind of support do you have at Home ??> How can your spouse and Family and friends> help you deal with RP ???>>I live with my mom and 2 teenaged daughters and they are pretty good, If I get really down then they take care of my. But with the way I am I push and Push myself to do what I used to and it is getting increasingly hard. My mom has Fibro and panic attacks so I am also a caregiver with her and she cannot see me not being like I used to be. Also I have a problem asking for help when I need it. I tend to want them to "see" that I need help, and not have to ask for help. If Iask, they are always willing to help. My brothers and sisters seem not to give a rip, except for 2 *(the one that passed before he passed he thanked me so much for being here for mom and taking care of myself as best I could, as he is the one that had AIDS and said he could not have gotten as far as he did without knowing that mom was okay, and the other one we have always been close, he is going through a tough time right now so prayers really go out for him). the other ones seem to think oh you look fine so you must be and you are only there with mom to get what she has when she dies---well I wont get the house anymore due to exhubbys screw up had to mortgage part of it. Its hard not being who I was 7 yrs ago..............How friends and family could help??? Just by being understanding when I am having a bad day, and not expecting too much during those days.
