[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend is constantly telling me how she feels sorry for me and she doesn't know how I do it because she couldn't.

Let me tell you, having a seriously disabled kid is not my idea of a good time.  That said, what am I supposed to do, curl up and not do what needs to be done?  Love my child less?  Hell no!  I handle it because I have no other choice and because I love and adore my child.

I don't need this friend to feel sorry for me and it pisses me off that she does. We've been friends more than a decade and this isn't going to end our friendship but it does make me want to punch her sometimes.[/quote]

Since your such good friends, have you told her how you feel? And what you would like to hear instead?[/quote]

No.  She's very sensitive, unsure of herself, depressed, and physically frail.  I know she isn't saying it to be malicious, she's saying it because it's true, she couldn't do it.  I don't want to make her feel like shit just because she annoyed me.[/quote]
