I depend on myself all the time. But I always need my family I count on them to help me out when I need it the most.

Family is very important to me I depend on them & they depend on me as well. Family is everything to me.

Sometimes family members have offered me help, but not to the point that they would make me feel like I can't be an independent person.

One of my pet peeves. I can’t even drop something without being checked on. i know they are trying to help but it does get irritating sometimes.

Happy Holidays! Please stay around those that understand and the ones that want to understand. I had major brain surgery 15 years ago and I have alot family members and those that check on me not even about having these episodes. Everyone is going thru something mentally and physically so check on them also. Have a blessed holiday weekend with those that you want around. Take Care!
