The problem is that you cannot spend as much time as you need to with your children. I was in the hospital a lot when my first 3 children were growing up. They tell me that I failed them.

My fourth son, I was not in the hospital as much. I was able to spend a lot of time with him. He is still living with us and we are getting along fine.

I understand how Cint feels.

Ruth, am sorry your children feel like you failed them. They seem unreasonable, that's just my opinion.
 
"Usually I just have bouts of weakness on my left side"
Sounds like a pinched nerve.

It is identical to the same symptoms I had when I had a stroke 4 years ago and the symptoms have continued off and on since the day of the stroke. In addition to the weakness I also experience phantom odors so I'm pretty sure it isn't a pinched nerve. The right side of my brain (parietal lobe) was damaged by the stroke. The parietal lobes can are divided into two functional regions. One involves sensation and perception, which is where my stroke occurred.

My biggest issue is admitting I have health problems. For some reason I see my health issues as a personal failure. I don't judge other people like that, only myself.

I'm the same. It's reached the point now where it's not just the epilepsy that I see as a failure but the silly little things--a high or low blood level is a 'fail' and when I have a set amount of time to get my levels up or down, I think I can personally affect them and if I don't, I've messed up. The rational side of all that is always there, and always much louder but that other stuff still sits underneath.
