One of my niblings has a post viral illness. Her parents have made the connection to me and how it's wrecked my life, but they are more worried about her not having a "normal childhood," and I can't get them to listen 😩

I'm so sorry. It feels like the Cassandra story, saying that rest and avoiding triggers is the best way to have a normal childhood. It's so hard when it's someone close to use. 💜
