My sweet son is telling me he is going to make me go out with him and his family... wants to drag me to events that I really have no interest in and no energy to attend. He just doesn't understand the fatigue that comes with MS and how utterly broken and tired I am. Guess he thinks I'm too much of a couch potato.
I'm fine with riding the couch! I don't want to participate... never really did. I've always been better off alone.
So how do I get this through to him that I am fine and don't need a "fun filled" life just because Sam passed away? I don't mind an occasional day out or visit, but I'm afraid he's going to take this too far. Most of their activities seem to take them into the night which I really can't stand. He's worried about his Mom and I get that. But I just can't make him understand that I love my alone time. This is the sweetest son and I love him completely. Don't want to hurt his feelings. But I just don't want to be running all the time either.
We haven't even had Sam's memorial yet... so ... no closure. All the kids have had a hard time with this, but Mama has moments every day and will for awhile. I'm just not ready for a social life.
What do you all think?
