Hi there intheburbs

Yes, I've been in a similar situation to you (but I hope you don't mind, I don't want to discuss my situation right now).

Words can be hurtful. I am sorry that those were your father's last words. You can't take it back - that sounds like a remark said out of anger. But do you know what anger is? Have you heard of the anger iceberg? Anger is the 10% we see above water. What we don't see is the 90% that bobs underneath the water. And it's name is fear.

I don't care too much about disclosing my diagnosis to others (my husband aside of course). They wouldn't really get it. Well, not in my opinion anyway. I'm sure some would say I'm odd. But each to their own. Sometimes I think I wasn't put on this earth to be liked by everyone. And other times I think what the hell why don't they like me. Push pull push pull push pull and so the cycle continues.
