Its a sad thing in this world to have a family as big as mine, and Not have an Aunt, sister (and I have 3), etc, OFFER to come visit with Josh AND so that I (Mom) can have a few hours for herself! For that matter, come visit at all!! Family problems come and go...for every family, but Geez, not every family has a Paralyzed 24 yr old nephew, grandchild, son, etc.; Poppy (Grandfather does meet Josh at the movies quite often on the weekends, and I appreciate that! Grammy (Grandma) calls Josh regularly and comes by occasionally, I appreciate that! But for Me no one cares, No one in my Whole Big Family calls me and asks how Mom is! I am a MOM & Caregiver to my son, I wouldnt have it any other way, no matter how drained, or worried, or hurt physically & emotionally, I will always be there to care for my son. I hurt nonstop for Josh, We BOTH hurt physically & mentally. It never ends, this Personal Topic is not one that I would usually post about, but for me, I just have too. I just dont understand how Family can be this way. :( People in general have no clue unlIess they live as a caregiver...a Mother that hurts for her child every single day, nonstop worrying! Nonstop caring, and attending too a loved one that cannot move his fingers to do the simplest things. Its not societies fault Unless they have Lived it,! Can you even imagine what its like for someone to lose all function and not be able to move vital body parts?! This may upset a member or two, But it is the truth and I need to vent a bit. I probably need to join a group, a forum, or something to see how other people in my situation deal with this, it would help me Im sure. My son who is Injured is the one that is most important person here, I dont mean to make this all about me, but when someone has an injury like paralysis it affects all of us! Its been 3.5 years since Josh broke his neck, a lot of his friends are distant now, and our Family is distant as well, I just dont understand. I love my son, and I am not complaining about caring for him, what I am complaining about is lack of care & support for me! :( Signed, Confused Mom/caregiver.
