I have a wonderful, supportive family. Husband of 26 years, 24 year old son, 22 year old son, 19 year old daughter. Sensitive and smart, all of them. Why is it that none of them understand my continued interest in this forum?
I would have to guess that my family does not want me dwelling on this heart "problem" of mine. Obviously, even though they have been educated along the way, they do not see it as something anyone would want to dwell on....let's move on.....who wants to keep reminding yourself about it. They do not understand how online connections can run so deep...especially when you are trying to coax the fear out of a stranger's heart or trying to help give them substance for their medical encounters. They just don't get it.
Why DO I continue on this forum? Well...it is addictive, isn't it? I mean with so many caring, well-informed, light-hearted, cranky, emotional, interesting, artistic, anal, worldly, well-read, well-travelled, hard-working people.....it is alot like any organization with a common cause. And, I LIKE it!!
So I'm throwing the question out to you. How does your spouse, significant other or family feel about the time you spend on this forum?
