I don't think he can be trained.... He doesn't see anything wrong with himself or his behavior. Have to see him again in February for my nieces birthday I have to toughen up in a hurry..... Perhaps when I am feeling less emotional and murderous I will ask him to meet me for coffee and try tell...

Thank you! I wish I was brave enough.... No wait selfish enough to say what I think at times! If I said what I was thinking today only my children and my brothers children would suffer as they wouldn't get to see each other cos it would ruin any semblance of a relationship with my brother! I...

Glad that stupid woman is not the one deciding! I know what you mean I spent 3 days of work and when one of my colleagues saw me back asked where I was been. Told her I had been off ill and when I told her it was crohns her reply was "oh at least it wasn't anything serious and shew you put on...

Hi, I don't need anyone to read this, understand or even reply..... I just need to "get it off my chest!" I was just getting over or starting to get over a flare.... Easily the worst one I've had and can almost fit into my jeans.... So I say was cos I went to my nephews birthday party...

I think you got them pretty well covered there!! But on the down side, everytime I go to the GP he puts whatever I have down to the crohns.... Easy for him huh!!

Yes! I feel like hiding under my bed when I get bad news especially during a flare up cos I do feel worse afterwards. The 'emotional drain' definitely makes me feel worse......
