Okay so the other day I wake up with a bad headache and a stiff(worse than normal) body. I can barely get out of bed and I am just feeling awful. DH is back at work(he works offshore 1 week on/1 week off) so I'm home alone. I manage through the day but I just can't manage dinner by myself so I call my cousin. Now my cousin is my age, single and an empty nester and she and I meet up for dinner every other week or so and we spend hours on the phone. Our phone calls consist mostly of me listening to her talking about her ongoing long distance relationship(complicated) and her work woes. I give her a loving ear and pep talks when she needs them but when I have a problem she blows it off because I'm "married"(not entitled to have any problems) Now I know that this is kind of one sided but I really do love her and she has a good heart, we have a great time when we get together. Anyway.. so I call her and ask her to come by and she says that she is too busy helping her mom get ready for a big dinner this weekend. I should not be surprised but I'm hurt none the less, she always says stuff like "We'll get through this together" but I know this is Baloney!
Now my parents did come by and bring me dinner but I do need someone else to count on besides them. Where do I find people that I can count on? I moved here after my 1st husband died because I already had a support system(or so I thought). Sigh....
I want to depend on myself but thanks to MS this just isn't possible all the time, What do I do? Does anyone have any cheese to go with my wine???
