Does anyone have experience with family members' issues with spouse/spouse's MS?
My mother is the big problem. We have purchased a 2 family home together, so I can help with my aging father and they can help with my wife. So they know and recognize my wife has MS. But my mother continues to not "get it". Trying to push my wife to do more. Even having a conversation with her that she'll end up divorced if she doesn't do more around the home. I recognize that my wife is going through a tough time right now. She's flaring up with some new issues and it's taking longer then normal. The doctor even has her on something that's not approved for MS (IVIG) in order to try and help. But 2 days after the latest treatment and she's pushing my wife to clean the entire house. She's questions our running of the AC to keep the temp. down and saying the stair-lift was an unnecessary purchase.
Are there any resources? Maybe someone (expert? nurse?) I can direct my mother to so she can ask as many questions as she needs in order to understand?
