Re: one more thing


For me this was the one and two more thing, and it really made me mad.
 Since my birth family is in complete denial,"you don't have PD," it
makes it hard to get the support from them.  My husband, on the other
hand, thinks I am going to die and doesn't want to talk about it.  He,
also, he thinks I have lost any sense I ever had.  The people who took
my job away must be right.  It has been very very.

I'm new to the list,could someone the code at the bottom.
