my elder sister had hepatitis. she has two young kids and no support from my family. i have been always there for her. so much so that i left my job and moved to another state to be with her.just to be closer to her for moral support. now when we have some arguments she tells me that i should be more understanding and consider her coz she has a husband to answer to and what will her kids think of her family that they always keep arguing.. she says that i shouldnt be so stubborn and just agree with her all the time. just coz i dont have a family of my own doesnt mean that i cant voice my own opinion and listen to her coz she is ill and has a family. i cant put up with it now.i feel there is no appreciation for what i do.

Tell her to get off her pity pot. There are treatments for HepC. I know alot of people that live normal productive lives with it and other more serious diseases that will be the death of them.
You should never give up what you believe or feel because someone thinks you should. Individuality and being your own person includes thinking for yourself.
Maybe your sister should get some counseling.
Good luck

thank you. i feel alot better. i should get over the guilty feeling when i think i am being selfish when i think for myself sometimes. i guess this includes self respect as well.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
