MS Tuesdays-75%

I was going to post about MS treatments but instead I am going to write about how MS scared my husband away the first time he saw I was sick.  I found a state during invisible illness week and really shocked me but in the same sense it made total sense to me.  It said that 75% of marriages where one person has a chronic illness end in divorce.  I am shocked by this but I also know it is true because I am one of the 75%.  When I worked at the nursing home I saw it all to often.  Peoples spouses would leave them once they got sick.  On the other had I also saw the husbands that stuck around.  I was always in awe of the ones that stayed with there spouses. 

It makes me sad that people are so shallow that they leave when things are going as they hoped.  It hurts me because I was 100% honest with my husband before we got married and once he finally saw that I was sick he left a few months later.  I would never leave someone because they are sick.  Just because we are sick doesn’t mean that we aren’t people who don’t have feelings!

This weeks post is short and sweet because I am angry about people leaving when someone has a chronic illness.  I am not sure if my post makes sense or not but it is what it is!  As always if you want to know anything leave me a comment and I will write about it!
