Sad For My New Mom
When I met my husband, I absolutely fell in love with his family. I had not had the greatest childhood and this family seemed like heaven to me. They had so much fun together and they accepted me as one of the gang from day one. I finally had a family and I was going to drink in as much love as I possibly could.
I found out shortly afterwards that his mother had Fibromyalgia and it made me so very sad. I couldn’t understand how this perfect person, who was so kind to me could have anything wrong with her. I did not know much about the disease, except to know that it was often very painful and this made me hurt for her.
I knew that there was nothing I could do for her, except to let her know that I cared and that I was available if she needed me. She assured me that I needn’t be so worried for her, as there were a lot worse things that could be wrong with her and that this was just a fact of life that she had come to deal with a long time ago.
Still, I am sad for my new mom.
