[quote=Anonymous]First, OP I am so sorry. That is incredibly stressful and I am so sorry your family is going through this. I think there are 2 sides. Those of us who have faced major adversity sometimes find it easier to empathize and feel truly pained hearing anyone else facing so much. At the same time, many of us have been through dealing with story tellers where we had tremendous empathy and were taken for a ride. When I have developed trust with someone I know the story is completely true, but early on I am sometimes suspicious. Over the years I have caught people faking someone died, faking their own cancer (a coworker who finally admitted it to our boss) and accidentally telling me a true story but it happened last year and had not happened again. So if I heard your story and didn't know you i would still say "I am so sorry" and have empathy, but I have been burned and would hope I was not being taken on another ride.[/quote]
