Never having been married, but always wanting a family, TM took away
even my desire for that.
My relationships, most "friends" disappeared. Relatives act like TM is
contagious. Only my Mom
has stayed constant. I help her the best I can, (she'll be 86 next
week), and this has been a scary
year. My Mom collapsed several months ago. I somehow got to her and
gave her CPR, and she
started to breathe again. She then spent 6 weeks in a nursing home.
The rest of my family just
wants to see both of us in a nursing home.
Those of you who have had family and friends stick by you, consider
yourself fortunate.

TM has made Billy & mines relationship stronger.
I did ask him when TM hit ( when we knew it was going to be a long
road to recovery ) and we had only been together for 5 years & he
hadn't signed up for this, " Do you want to stay together or not ? "
He was so bad at me for even asking the question in the first place,
but I knew then that he was in for the long road to recovery too.
I had started a cross stitch of our anniversary date, it was half done
when TM hit, but that was the first thing I finished in between naps. lol
Now it's been 7 years with TM & we will have been together these Nov.
will be 12 years.
May all of our relationships are stronger today,
Todd in CC, TX

It's Janice again. I have something else that I have wondered
about and have decided to just ask and see what is out there.
Do you feel that having TM has improved or destroyed the
love/happiness in your marriage/relationship with your partner?
