[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 21387, member: 1697"] If you read the signatures on peoples posts, you might see that a lot of people here have some hefty diagnosis'es for themself in addition to the ones for their children. I have had similar experience as Marg- I would still be working 16-20 hours shifts 6-7 days a week and trying to juggle raising my 3 kids and care for my very ill husband had I not been stopped in my tracks WHAM! by severe Lupus and rheumatic illness. My husband has brain lesions, diagnosis'ed many years ago. My best friend had MS and then melanoma and lost an eye while parenting. I would suspect some of the biggest changes in your life might be how you view life. Possible it might change some of your priorities and focus. I greatly feared how I would parent my 3 kids, 2 of whom have disabilities, while fighting my battle for my life and while taking care of my dependant husband..........but what has happened is we began to really LIVE the gift of life more. In that process, I like to think my kids have become more compassionate people. Becuz my family deserted me when I did not leave my very ill husband, and becuz my husband is also very ill, I have had to be creative and make a go of it on my own. It is not easy, but, it is not impossible. We had a crash course in "picking our battles" Hang in there. Take it one step at a time. Once you find out just what it is you are dealing with, maybe you can join a support group, either in person or online. Very often support groups help guide you to available resources and share ideas specific to the needs you might find yourself needing along the way. My thoughts are with you. [/QUOTE]
