Family Reaction to Cirrhosis/Hep C

I was just curious to hear from other members here as to how their families responded when told about your cirrhosis and/or Hep C. My sister's first response was to quickly and reproachfully say "I kept telling you to stop drinking". The whole family's happy I'm not drinking and they're supportive but every now and then I'll get a little dig thrown at me about my past escapades. Sometimes family is great at forgiving but not forgetting.
How's everybody else dealing with this? Posted on 11/05/09, 06:11 pm |

My husband is great, if it comes up he just says "That's the past." My youngest daughter can sometimes make little comments and they're hurtful. But I guess I deserve it cause I wasn't the greatest mom during those years. I took care of my kids but she hated seeing me like that. My sister's too busy taking care of our folks to lend much support to me. It's the other way around, I need to lend her my support. All in all, we're muddling through and my family is there for me. I also don't tell too many people outside of my family. Only a couple of friends know and they're very supportive.
