If you can't say something nice...

If you don't intimately know me, my boyfriend/caregiver, or how we manage to survive day to day, keep your fucking mouth shut, please. We make it work and that's all that matters. No gossip, no questions, no comments, no judging -- just leave us alone. You may find yourself awed by what we're making happen -- a home, stability, decent grades, and even a social life, plus all the work that goes into caring for a person with a degenerative neurological disease. But I urge you -- don't tell us how impressive we are, or how insane we are, or wonder how we can possibly manage it all. It won't come off in a favorable light so just keep it to yourself. Thanks for understanding.
