Another answer you could have given is:
“If you think I’m heading in the wrong direction, are you going to help me get straightened out?”
This should make them backpedal fast.
Nah, Bob. Thanks, but it’s too late for that. This person has known me since before I got sick, and for me, this current attitude is inexcusable and cruel.
I’m not going to pull any punches, here. At this point in my life, I don’t care if I step on his feelings. He had no qualms about stepping on mine, and he isn’t going to enrich my life in any way, now or in the future.
I’m sorry to sound cold but my life since 1998 has been an eye-opening experience and no mistake, and no one has been “on my side.” It has only been since joining FR that I have been able to regain my sanity and feel that I am a person of worth.
CFIDS is an insidious disease and though it’s name, “Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome” minimizes it exponentially, it has no less than 45 symptoms which can come at any time, in any combination, and can last for any length of time. Relapses and remissions is what a PWC has to endure. http://www.cfids.org
My family at FR is what keeps me sane, and I thank all of you...none of you know how much it means to me to be accepted for my screen name!
