[QUOTE="Josie, post: 476585, member: 1792"] I don't have any good ideas. Just sending sympathy. I will say as the parent of a child with an invisible illness, like yours, I sometimes lose my patience with the whole thing. I *know* she is doing the very best she can but there are times I am frustrated with her. When I am not in the moment, I know it is her illness and not her that I am frustrated with. husband is prone to thinking she isn't working as hard as she could be and I have to remind him *again* that she is doing the best she can do. I am able to talk with my daughter and I think make amends after one of my own outbursts. I hope she knows I am sincere when I say I know she is doing the best she can do. Are you and Tony ever able to talk about it in a calmer time? My daughter's worst issue right now is bursts of anxiety. That is when I am prone to lose it myself. She bring me back to reality by saying mostly calmly "do you think I want to live like this?" Is it just an impossible dream to get Cory and Billy and/or their SO's to help you get the house ready for Thanksgiving? It seems like you do a lot for them and it would be reasonable to ask them. I know we're not always dealing with reasonable people though. LOL [/QUOTE]
