My husband deals with my illness with denial, he knows I am very ill, but doesn't like to discuss, or want to learn about it. He is just scared, he has been through 3 crises with me, & a few emergency surgeries, plus thymectomy. So he knows, I can see it in his face. Then I have my mom, that throws out suggestions, but by what she says, I can tell she doesn't have an understanding either, you would think by now she would have some knowledgeof Autoimmune, as my grandmother had Lupus for years, denial again ! I think it is, as the old saying goes, what they don't know won't hurt them.
