[quote=Anonymous]I can sort of relate. I come from a family with a mix of terrible genes and great genes- you either die in your 50s or live forever. But our ailments are mostly autoimmune stuff and a sprinkling of vision stuff and non-genetic cancer, so it feels manageable. I married into a family with mental health issues and early dementia. It’s very daunting because it’s not the health issues I’m used to and permeates every part of our lives. I think that if you’re used to seeing health issues as a temporary and discrete problem and you marry into a family with chronic physical or mental illness, that is a big shift! It can be hard if you don’t have friends in the same boat, especially if you’re in your late 20s or 30s and family health issues take you out of step with your peers.[/quote]
