Sounds like your DH is another sabotager if he tells you at the beginning of a plan it won't work. Well, we will do our best to support you and prove him and all those other naysayers wrong.
I'm one of those people who must believe everyone around me is intensely interested in what I'm doing - ask and I'll tell (not about everything
) Almost all the folks I hang with know I'm on MF and I am very lucky - they are supportive. There's teasing but it's not the kind that is detrimental.
When I start working (when I find that dream job
) I'll not try to hide my MF, but since it will be part time work, I should be able to juggle my schedule so it never comes up - except for the compliments
Whenever you need an uplifting word, drop in. There's always someone with a kind word waiting to be shared.
