mother driving me nuts!

[Mommafirst]

As the moms we are in a different place of acceptance to this whole CF thing. We are learning lots every day, we are trying to come to terms with it all. Those around us (and sometimes even our spouses) get there at a whole different speed.

Its unbelieveably frustrating when those around you almost invalidate your fears by minimizing this disease. Even when we want to be full of hope, we don't want to be told that our worries are unwarranted or ridiculous.

((((HUGS)))) I can absolutely understand your frustration.

Oh boy, is that ever true! And they often get there on a completely different path.

My dad does the same sort of thing and it really bothers me. To listen to him talk, he is convinced that my daughter will be just fine, as healthy as a person w/o CF. As much as I hope & pray that is true, I also feel that we have to take great measures for her health (measures that we share with him, but I really think he feels she could do without and be fine). I live with her and take care of her and even though she is almost 6 and has never been in the hospital, has fev1 over 110, rarely gets anything more than a cold, etc I still see that CF definately affects her body. He just can't see it, isn't willing to. I try to avoid discussing CF with him and pretty much ignore his ignorance when it does come up. I don't even hope that he will get a clue, because I am 99.9% sure that he never will! Okay, that felt good to get out, hopefully it helps you to know that you aren't alone!

thank you guys so much! This has been on my mind for awhile, and I cringe every time she mentions something about "cf" not applying to my kids... wow.. that's funny, i thought that's what they were diagnosed with. lol. I guess between her, and my husband who just won't discuss it all i really feel like this is the only place i can take these concerns.

i don't want a pity party every time i talk to somebody about my kids and cf, but if i have a valid concern or fear, i don't want to be told that it's impossible for it to happen to them....

thank you, thank you...and more thank yous. finding this forum has been such a blessing.
