HI Pughead,
Will my situation isn't as severe as yours but I do understand your pain. My bf does not understand my illness and I have asked him to read things regarding it so he can understand better. But as far as I know to this date he has not researched it. It hurts me when I am having a problem and he responds with a gesture that seems to be condescending...he claims its not.

I don't believe you can force anyone into anything they are not willing to understand or change. I don't know the answer but hopefully one day I can figure it out.

Take care and I wish you peace...you sound very distressed.....(((((Pughead)))))
