I just need to state the facts about today. I have a high i.q. And high functioning asperger's syndrome. I have two younger sisters that are autistic and they are driving me nuts. I am presently being treated for cancer daily, chemotherapy and also radiation. Daily. One of them has attacked me in an email, telling me what a bad person i am because i complained normally and naturally about some small irritations in my life. It was not a big deal but she made it a big deal she does not know what normal is so she attacks me while i am being treated for cancer! I think she is a lunatic. i cannot have any connection with these insane sisters any more. It has been very painful. I have to protect myself from these people who are related to me and who are supposed to care about me. They are too messed up. I have to be done with them. And i have to be vigilent and keep protecting myself from them. It is so unfortunate. It was not my idea to have a bunch of autistic relatives that would hurt me.

I'm sorry for what your going through with your chemo and radiation. I'm sorry you don't have the sympathy of your sisters. Maybe someday they can realize what your going through, and will give you support. Family and friends are important, so i hope you do have some support.

Good luck

i do have support from the people at the cancer center and also from the volunteers for the American Cancer Society who drive me to treatment daily. That's pretty much it except for forums like this one. i really don't understand how my relatives can not know how to respond. I cannot know what is in their heads. I had a hell of a time growing up and they must have experienced some of the same. So I am sorry for them. Must get off of my pity party!
