Gerri, First of all....I am so sorry! Secondly, when I first read your post, I was thinking that maybe Chris was in denial because he's afraid of losing his beloved Mother but no-one knows him like you. But as all of us know that for some strange reason, the holidays bring out the worst in some people....maybe the stress? Thirdly...I am so sorry!
That is a tough one and I know it stings. I know I'm newly dxed and I expected my mother (who has SLE) and my sisters (who both have MS) to totally understand what I deal with but all I ever get is ohhh I know, tell me about it! So now, I tell my KA family. Good luck with this, I pray that Chris doesn't have to ever deal with AS first hand. Happy Holidays!!
