@A MyFibroTeam Member ....Yes, I have been going through a lot of heartbreak, from what was left of immediate family members who abandoned me. Hugs to all who go through this....it is hard.

I'm not looking to get their love back. And I love myself plenty. That doesn't stop it from being heartbreaking.

I had loved ones who gave up on me right away. it may be different because they were my blood family and not husband. It's tricky because do you really want that person to be in your life if they have given up on you? To be fair, he may not know what to do and so maybe try to educate him and tell him what you want him to do. That might help, i have to tell my boyfriend what I need otherwise he is lost. I am sorry that you are going through that and it's important to have a good support system. There is a mens fibro group on facebook. Maybe they can answer some questions he may have or that you may have too. I hope if he has really given up on you that you take time to take good care of yourself above all.

I get this, I get it big time, however, gettingback their love may not be the issue. It may be learning to love your imperfect self.

My family pretty much ignore my fibro! There is no acknowledgement of it! I mention it at times. Got really annoyed a few months ago as they came to visit and were like "we never see you". I spit the dummy and was brutally honest with them and said about its not the fact i dont want to, but getting out of bed most days is hard enough. Think it sunk in a bit as got 3 different family members visit me that week, lol. But again, i havent seen them for a couple months. I dont know, its weird they never really offer to help with anything or say if i need anything to call them, yet i have a cousin who i was chatting too, when i said i strufgle to mow the lawns he immediately said "i can do that, just let me know when it needs doing". I was blown away as i have not had my immediate family really offer anything. Hence i've almost given up on my family! I dont think they will ever really understand!
