[quote=Anonymous]I'm the one with advanced multiple sclerosis and I have kept it all together for my DC. It doesn't "do something to your personality" that is toxic - whoever wrote that and suggesting that is common is advancing stigma. Shame on you. It is difficult to be exhausted and in severe pain every hour of the day. But having family who count on you gives you a reason to keep going. I divorced my ex because he was lazy, selfish, and added huge burdens to my life. It is hard knowing that I have no backup, but I have created a non-family village of backup that have provided us with more support than he ever did. There is no excuse for selfish and lazy behavior, but it is extremely toxi to perpetuate a false stereotype that it is the "ill spouse" who created more problems. There is no pattern. (Other than men are statistically more likely to dump an ill spouse, according to several international studies.) [/quote]
