Hi All,
I posted a few months ago when I was going through a really tough time on this topic of ALS.
My boyfriends father has ALS and he still refuses to ever talk to me about the issue.
His father has become a lot worse over the past three months - now having to wear a breathing mask at all times.
It breaks my heart that I can't talk to him about what is happening...I know he is trying to deal with it on his own but every time we visit I walk away feeling so upset and depressed.
This Christmas I am spending it alone with my family (my parents live out of town) and he wants to be with his family but I just want to tell him how much I support him and want to be there for him. I know this is the worst time of year when we are supposed to be thankful and happy but I just feel his pain and want to be there for him.
I don't know what to do. I know when I made a post last everyone said just give it time, but nothing seems to have changed and I feel I need to make him open up about it so that he doesn't feel so alone.
I would love some advice...thank you.
