Hi I'm back and its been a while.
I come from a line of sick family members. My great grandma had diabetes and died of a stroke. My grandma has lupus. My uncle was born premature and with cerebral palsy. My mom has multiple sclerosis. This is all on my mom's side. On my dad's side I have two autistic cousins. My grandma has rheumatoid arthritis. Now, I on the other hand have asthma,dyslexia,and I am possibly on the autism spectrum. And every sentence I write is corrected by autocorrect. Sometimes I feel as if I have the weight of the world on my shoulders when it comes to my family being sick. My mother is in and out of the hospital constantly. So is my grandma. My uncle on my mom's side suffered from a stroke a few years ago and has seizures every now and then. When I was younger I suffered from something that caused my hair to fall out. The doctors didn't even know what it was. And to this day the red bandana I wore during that time is used as an accessory on the teddy bear I got from the hospital. So when someone in my family ends up in the hospital it feels as if I caused it or I'm responsible for it.
