PAIN AND GROWN CHILDREN

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, TX

What are your feelings or what do you do when your grown children have not really accepted your Chronic Pain from an auto accident for over 20 years. No reaching out to help unless a few times when we gave asked (begged?). We see them about 3 - 4 times a year, if we plan it. They are approx 40 years old. Good people, but are not compassionate about their parents. We don't complain, we don't discuss things a lot, because it upsets them. So we talk about them, things that are fun and try to… read more

It’s the same way here my daughter is 45. She has fibromyalgia etc like I do...and a 13-year-old boy. Her husband helps a lot but she’s so overwhelmed. In fact they’re both overwhelmed. He’s busy with his career and she’s just trying to make it day by day. I remember being in my 40s and not wanting to deal with my parents issues. She was there for me when I was in the hospital. So I know she would be later. I know it’s very disappointing isn’t it.

Chat cat, I'm all ears, tell me in depth (no pressure) your story in your own words, I have lived with this for 38 years and I try to be as supportive as I can be.

KitCarson "Tribunal" - That gave me a laugh! I am so sick and tired of people telling my story, but will not ask me my story. It is definitely slanted and it's not in my favor! :) Of course, the story isn't in my favor anyway, but you understand.

I appreciate your comments...as I know it's hard to talk about at times!
