[QUOTE="gsingjane, post: 581322, member: 15986"] Thank you for the welcome, Tired! I have a question for you... I have many supportive friends, and I am used to sharing a lot of my problems and issues with them (and they with me, at least I think so). For instance, my friends have really helped me over these past three years that my husband has been struggling with cancer. I feel in so many ways, though, like this problem with John is just too shameful or embarrassing to share. It's like we have this "deep dark secret" that I don't want anyone to know about ... because when someone is a criminal, people always blame the parents. They just always do - like Nancy Lanza, Know what I mean?? Right away, everybody is saying, what did SHE do? It isn't that what John does is on a par with Adam Lanza, I know that, but I also know that people always figure that somehow the parent must be to blame. Do you struggle with that? Do you have people you're close to and do they know? I think in some ways the loneliness is one of the hardest things... Jane [/QUOTE]
