Some days it's just so hard to stay strong...

I think this goes for a lot of us on GN, for all sorts of reasons, and have thought hard about owning up to it. It's sometimes easier to be bright, cheery, jokey, and compassionate, full of news and fun, hiding behind what lies beneath.
For the past few days there have been 5 threads running which I have found very difficult, and that I wish I could address, but realistically this is not the place.
So I'm putting this out here and just saying, that's all.

janthea - I can empathise exactly with your experience. At first, you are shocked, amazed, distraught, but after a time you just accept that your family member is the one with the problem and you get on with your life. It is particularly sad when adult children are forced to take sides, even though all the hostility has been in one direction.

greatnan Thanks. You are right about the feelings. I have now accepted the situation. At least I'm not thinking about it every day now - probably once a week!!
