Well crud! Hmmmm..... Here's my next thought, and I'm grasping at straws here, do you think that Maybe she may have some sort of unresolved issues of her own & possibly feels like no one has noticed because she believes your illness is "taking center stage"? I know my own kids have had trouble understanding me & "acted out" a bit because they had things going on in their Own lives that they didn't feel were being addressed because of My issues. It's just a thought & desperate attempt to help you find answers!
