Scleroderma Information » Scleroderma » Doing good
Question:
Jen, I know what a big step for you it was moving out the house and on your own. Just be as supportive as you can for your Mom. Just as supportive to her as you want your boyfriend to be for you. When Richard and I started dating, I was up front and told him about the sd. He didnt run away either. He has taken the time to learn all he can and he, like Bobs friend Dee, practices tough love. You need to educate yourself as much as possible and find a local support group that you both can participate in. Colleen – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Jen Gilbertson wrote: > Hi everyone.

Hi everyone. Thought I’d write and tell you all I’m doing very good. I’m living with my boyfriend and a friend right now till I can find an apartment. I told him last night about the scleroderma. He’s willing to find out all he can on it. I can tell he really cares about me. He is accepting the possibility that I might have scleroderma and is willing to help me along the way. He is so sweet I’m glad I found someone. My mom and me came to an agreement for me to live away from home. I don’t need the stress of seeing her going through the scleroderma plus everything else. I have someone I can talk to and who cares for who I am, not someone else. I’ve started putting my past behind me and moving on in life. I’ve had a really tough year and it’s getting better everyday. A year ago, I wouldn’t have moved out till I was 18 but now i can handle living away from home and taking responsibility of myself. I have to make appointments and everything else and pay for my meds all by myself. Well I’m going to go. I’ll check this every once in awhile. Just email me if you want. Jenn Live for today for you have no reassurance that there will be a tomorrow.

You’re among friends here, Jenn. I know how important it is to have someone loving and caring, as I have someone in my life who’s that way. She cares enough to want to learn about my condition of having CREST and takes matters into her own hands when I get on the down side. Yes, indeed, all of us have our lows when we begin to feel sorry for ourselves and make everyone around us miserable. It takes a good partner to have the patience and the ability to deliver a good swift kick in the ass when we need it. My lady calls it tough love. but she tempers it with tenderness too. If your partner is like mine, don’t consider yourself lucky. Consider yourself blessed. Bob – alle…@tiac.net ICQ 6418621
