Thanks for this post. As a caregiver I am going through a hard time now. Feel I don't have support and am looked at as if I am crazy that I need it when a family member is recovering from this disease. How selfish am I? I am now not talking to my sister over things that this disease has done emotionally to both of us. I can't tell anyone my issues though because they look at me like I have two heads for complaining about how I feel or about things that have been effected in my life. It is very difficult and I feel all alone. Flat left actually. Our fight was pretty bad to and I don't see it being resolved anytime soon. To much Anger on both our parts. Its a shame this disease can do this also. It has torn my family apart.
