There is support!

Quote From: dreamer88sl

I am watching the show right now about MS. I am crieing because I am scared to death my fiance feels the same as her husband. I am only 19 and have a 15 month daughter. I was diagnosed Jan and will start college to become a psychologist this fall. When I watch a show and someone has MS it is seen as a death sentence. I was watching something on MTV and this boy was so mean to his mom cuz she had MS and he didnt want to deal with it and I worry Emma (my daughter) or my future husbad will feel the same. I have had a few flare ups and he is always there but since finding this out he has not been himself, he has even cheated. I feel great most days I try to stay positive ride my horses and play but this MS is always on my mind. I do not know anyone who has this disease or have anyone to relate to. I pray every night God will take this from me and so far it seems I have not been heard. I am too young to stop living.

I am sorry that you have MS, but I just want to encourage you to hang in there.  Multiple Sclerosis is not a death sentence!  Yes, it is life altering, but that is the key...you still have a life, it just has to be adjusted!  Please contact your local MS Society for help.  They can direct you and your family members to local support groups and other resources!  Please do not blame yourself or the MS for the actions of your boyfriend.  There are also online support groups available.  You can access your local MS chapter by calling 1-800-Fight-MS!

I wish I could give you a hug and wipe away the tears.  MS is not a life sentence.  MS has changed my life considerably.....spiritually, emotionally, physically (all for the better!) and also financially ( not so better).  I want you to know, for me, anyone out there who would use an excuse like a sickness to cheat on someone is obviously not the person you should waste anytime over.

 

As far as the husband today who said, "I did not sign up for this", what about vows???  I say let those who have no supportive nature or understanding or strength to get out of my way.
