Well, it feels a bit like invisibility, but the disability lies in others. People cannot accept that I know what I can and cannot do, either now, while I am in a lot of pain and feeling very tired or in the future when I am better.
They also seem very keen that I agree with their opinions and do as they say. My mother said the following to me "Tell me in your own words, that you are getting better". She has also asked "How are you keeping busy"

My own words would have needed expletives deleted to the extent no other words were left. :?:

She asks my opinion, then says that I am wrong to say that, or ignores my advice that she has asked for. Then when she gets in even a bigger mess or problem, guess who

is expected to put things right. If someone is ill, or unhappy etc, she seems to think that giving them "things to do" will make them happy again.
