[QUOTE="DDD, post: 581727, member: 35"] I'm sorry you are in such a stressful situation and very sorry I don't have a solution to offer. Certainly I admire you for taking the high road in dealing with such shocking and unexpected circumstances. Is it possible that she is aging a bit and feeling vulnerable as your unexpected illness could alter her sense of personal security? If she has "loved you to death" for years "maybe" this change in behavior is part of her personal fears for her future. How you handle the situation is certainly up to you and your husband. I suggest that your health be the number one issue and my oncologist as well as my reading strongly encourages the avoidance of stress. With my life that is almost impossible to do but my older sister decided she didn't want to talk to me again because I voted for the wrong Presidential candidate! We had one fight in the 1940's when I was five. Then...whammo! There are only two possible explanations. My sister has new mh problems or she can't face that I may not live longer than she. Either way strange unexpected things happen. Find an agreed upon course of action with your husband. It is reasonable to limit visits for awhile to maintain your strength. When you do visit keep the conversation on "normal" topics and leave if there is an indication that the mood is going South. I wish you the very best. It's a rough time for the whole family. Hugs.
