[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I didn't read all of the responses but have been in your shoes. My DH has had a very life threatening chronic illness for years. the first three, my family just made very general comments, overtures with regards to the situation. Then my parents were in town when things went terribly wrong and saw how completely end of rope I was. They have since been extremely supportive and I no longer resent how they were prior. But boy were they clueless about everything. Since I myself was in denial for about a year and they live a flight away, I can understand the denial part a tad. It has been a hard road. So thankful that your sister has been there for your family.[/quote] It isn't really denial. With a life threatening chronic illness that a person has been living with for years...it unfortunately becomes the "normal" for that person. They really expect the person to go on living with the illness with treatment. [/quote]
