I loved my childrens teen-age years! They went so fast and you can't take it back. I wish we were able to have even more life experiances together. embrace their ideas, listen to them, they are more open minded then we give them credit. love them to pieces!! be carefull what you wish for.

Oh, Barb, I think she may be frightened, not disgusted, that you have HD? Maybe she hasn't come to terms with it yet. And she is afraid she's losing you, and distancing herself is the only way she can cope right now. I don't know how old your 2 girls are, but my 2 went through some stages when they wouldn't even talk to each other. Now they are best friends. Keep trying to contact her, dear.

I second that motion about them being frightened and no knowing what to say or do and distancing them for awhile. Sad but very likely - their coping mechanis,/
I know very little about HD. If you feel like it, pm me about it. Is there anything I can do to help? Are there support groups? Breast cancer support groups have been a great help to me, and I'll volunteer to help at the center in CT when I get there.

Barb, some of her issues may be the fear of getting it herself as well. I don't know anything about Huntington's Disease, but so many different diseases are hereditary and I think it scares children and grand children to think that this may happen to them too. Just my thought.

I second what everyone else is saying. She is scared and distancing herself. She will come around. :)

yes, i've thought that could be it, was just having a down moment is all. Thanks for hugs. I mean, i know that we are luckier than most, to have had our grandaughter with us as a baby, we are just spoilt and used to being able to see her so much too. Thanks :)
