Very impactful statement. I agree – hearing from more of this community on the impacts of this, and even how it is managed on a day to day basis, would certainly be helpful for us.

Very much so. My genetic syndromes and chronic pain were a huge factor in my divorce. From my end as well as his. I went from being the caregiver to being the one in need of one. Then the til’ death do you part went POOF. It’s difficult being a caregiver as well as being the one needing it but, both, rarely works. Relationships need to be as close to 50/50 as possible or resentment comes into play.

@nancytownsend Oh my gosh, I am SO sorry to hear that. What an awful experience to have at such a young age! 🙁

@nancytownsend Wish I could give you a big hug!
