I blame nobody. The Osbourne family is not required to be the public face and spokesperson of MS, nor are the able to live this in the privacy we were afforded as they are "in the spotlight". I for one, did not get an instruction booklet on how to act or what to think when the MS subject was first broached. I got scared, angry, sad and terrified I would end up in a home all alone. Then after I got my act together I did some research, eliminated the old crap and miracle oils and made a list of questions. But... that is how I am, which is different than you.

Perhaps instead of holding them out as bad examples of how to act or think we should instead hug them tight and educate them to the possibilities of a life with MS.?(not trying to preach, but this was getting to me)
