Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

It is so hard to deal with a family member who lies. It is so draining to have people around you that have such bad judgement. I'm tired of dealing with someone that spends money frivolously and lies about their actions.Sad

Tell me about it... My mom, when I was younger, used to use me as a lie for not seeing certain family members at given events. I think she was partially depressed because she seems different now...

But anyway (sorry I digress) I'd come home after about 1 month of being away from home at school and she'd be like "Oh if people ask you if you're feeling better just say yes" "Why mom?" "Because I told them you were sick so I couldn't come last time"

It wasn't that big of a deal until I realized I lie so much because I was taught it's okay to lie... I really wish I never had experienced that because I've been lying to myself for years... The truth is a hard hard pill to swallow!

Sometimes you just need to breathe and remind yourself... I have gone this far, I have been this strong, I will not let it get to me... You are worth so much to so many people... and me included. Thank you for being in my life!

Keep Living strong!

I know I started this post months ago.......I just have to say...Mom will always lie......I hate the evil look she gives me when she does it. Mom is really trying to manipulate me these days. I have to stay away or she drains me. Sad This week has been stressful.
