[quote=Anonymous]Some people are REALLY freaked out by medical things and can't be around it. I have an aunt who can't stand hospitals. It's not that she doesn't love and support you, it's that she knows she'd make it all about herself if she went to visit you in one. She'll visit when you're home. Some people are better at "bedside manner" stuff than others. I'm GREAT at playing nurse to someone sick or recovering from surgery. Others are not. If they know they can't do this, that may explain why they stayed away. You said your dad was difficult. Consider he may have been more difficult with them and less difficult with you because he loved you more. Maybe he threw things at them. Maybe he said HORRID things to them. They set boundaries. You will never know why. It has nothing to do with money though. You have to let it go. [/quote]
