I'm sorry 😞..... My daughter doesn't understand my pain.... She says.. you don't have to be rude or have an attitude because you hurt... Mind you she's an adult.... Very frustrating.... But when she has a stomach ache ..she over exaggerates.....

I dont think you can understand if fully if you have never been through it. Nreve pain, pain from Osteo, muscle, joint are all different and come in different degrees. How could someone without possibly understand the torture that it can be?

Feels like no one understands my chronic pain...I do not speak of it nor do I complain about, learned early on no one wants to talk about it or sympathy. Only ones that do are experiencing it themselves. As it should be. No pity parties🕊

Thank you. Yes .. sometimes friends are better than family... I have a few friends that are amazing and understand the pain I go through.... No judgement with them....

Most of my family. I am blessed to have cousins who do. My mom and her brothers are narcissists. All about them.

I have made my friends into my family.

And it is difficult to have children who only care about themselves.

I'm so sorry.
