I have confessed to DH that I want to disappear. There is a large part of me that sits on the bleachers, not getting engaged at all emotionally. I feel so empty & without purpose, and feel as if I am wasting the oxygen I breathe. How do you find purpose in the face of pain & the inability to really do anything of importance?

These are magic questions, huh?
I go through this all the time. But, when I feel good, my purpose and drive to keep going is full force. When I'm having a rough MS day, it's hard to keep my focus. It is the good days that keep me going.
But you do have a purpose. Right now you have a lot going on with your in-laws which only adds to how you are feeling. You are a very kind and compassionate person and I have learned so much from you as well as you being an inspiration to me to keep going. So, with that said, you do have a purpose and you do have a positive effect on others. You may not feel as though you do but you are far more important in this world than you are giving yourself credit for.
Now, chin up, dear and know that you are loved and admired by many.
