Cheryl, I've kept up with your posts and have "heard" the frustration in your words. As a clusterhead, I don't know what you are feeling, just as you don't know what we as sufferers feel. But I do recognize the same things in your words as what I see and hear from the man in my life. Just as you, he seems to get angry with me, yet I know its not me, its the beast and how it has interfered with our lives. I know his frustration is out of love for me, and the desire to see me whole again. I want to thank you, because even when you think you are merely venting, you are giving us sufferers insight into what our loved ones deal with every day. I'm sure your need to vent also brings you to a place where you are more gentle with him, just as our understanding of what you go thru gives US a gentler nature toward those we love and who support us. We are learning from you, just as you learn from us. And I want to thank you. Hang in there Cheryl. I know its hard, but I hear the love you have for him, and that is much stronger than the beast.
*hugs* Jennifer
