I am really trying hard to keep my mouth shut regarding my true feelings. I want to be supportive. I want to be sensitive. Yet, I completely disagree.

My boyfriend's adult daughter has just been dealt a blow regarding her health. She has been diagnosed with MS. The condition onset suddenly and catastrohpicaly. It is significantly advanced.

I have been there offering words of encouragement and support these last two months during the ordeal of her hospital stay as they tried to figure this out (it was first thought a stroke. Then thought cancer. They even did a brain biopsy).

So what is the probem?

My boyfriend has been shattered by his daughter's diagnosis; and, he is in complete denial. He has himelf convinced a miracle is going to happen returning her to full mobility. He talks excitedly of an immanent cure just around the corner.

And this is the quandry. I don't want to be insensitive or unsupportive by pointing out this is likely not the reality she is facing. But neither do I wish to agree with him or encourage the deception.
