Honestly, after everything else I've been through this year and now the seperation I was just wondering if anyone else out there has found love or that significant other after being diagnosed.
I'm alone with my kids and since the dx their dad has split because it's too hard on him...
I was just wondering is their love after this? Has anyone else been through anything similar and found love later?

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
The ex walked last March and I know that it was in good part because of the MS and how it took so much away from what I and hence we could do as a couple. I met someone a short while ago and thought there was really something there, now apparently I discover there's not.
I too am wondering who out there is going to want half a woman..if I do want to meet up with someone I'm too embarrased by my condition and the way I walk to allow myself to do so. Everyone says to think positively about yourself and not to convey negative feelings..that's so hard when you feel so diminished by this thing.
So the answer is....I don't know...I sure as hell would like to hope so but I know the limitations this monster has set upon me, what normal man in his right mind is going to want to put up with it?
If mine doesn't work out, I don't know what I would do... I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't even drink much coffee so book stores are out LOL I wouldn't even know where to meet someone. My age, my height, my cane, and inability to do much physical activity (walking, climbing, hiking, sports, etc) for any length of time, makes me wonder. I also wonder how much the MS is a factor in the present situation.
There are good men out there who are capable and intelligent enough to accept your dx and who will love you unconditionally.
But I did want to Thank everyone. A mixture of replies is more than I thought I would get. I wish everyone the best.
Thanks again
Best of luck to you,

Meanwhile with a blended family that is doing well but has had some not very good dynamics exacerbated by mom's new reactivity, a couple of job losses on my part where it was either corporate moves or an interfering ex-wife have ratcheted the stresses up immeasurably, AKA losing the house in about two weeks now.
Bottom line? We are still together and at times when the rages are hottest and her patience the least, I don't always manage the "stay cool" and say a few I ought not to.
Trick is, when is a) the MonSter talking, AKA that part of the mind affected by the disease, or b) when is it the totally stressed out mom talking AKA the part worn out and fatigued, or when is it c) the cat's claws are out and she's a slashing?
Because it is hard to tell sometimes. So Dx'd folks, remember that we supporters who are trying need your patience too.
Bottom line? We're still together and working on it. With happy times between the stress times as well.
