I'm sorry your MIL upset you. Family has a way of doing that, don't they? I have learned over the past six months that not only does my family (extended) understand my MS but they have absolutely no understanding of my DD's food allergy (which may not actually be an allergy now). What I'm trying to say is that people who do not have a certain illness, especially one like MS, have absolutely no way of understanding what we go through on a daily basis. I wish they would just listen. Good for your DH for supporting you!!!
