[quote=Anonymous]Maybe if she is still coming to grips with it, that she isn't in a place to explain it to you as she doesn't get it fully herself.  You need to self-educate yourself and not depend on her to to do that all the time.  She should only talk about it voluntarily instead of being asked or even badgered.  I'm the PP with a chronic condition and I know I'd get really quiet if I had someone saying they wanted to understand it from my side so was probably asking a million questions, and I maybe wasn't feeling up to talking about that day.  I also tend to get tired of talking about my issues because sometimes I want to think about something else.  I know if I was with my sister, I would want to be talking about other things and getting my mind off things.

My advice is to let her talk voluntarily for some time and not pry.  Educate yourself on her condition by talking to a medical professional or signing up for a family support group.  Read books, journal articles, etc.  Just because she has a chronic condition doesn't make her have the responsibility of educating you.   [/quote]
