Just Because You Believe Something Doesn't Make it True

Poor Flower has had a light cough for the past month or so. No other symptoms. No fever. No headaches. No runny nose. Nothing in her chest. Just a light cough. Sounds like it's right at the back of her throat.

Two weeks ago, one of the younger, newer girls at the after care mentioned it. "I notice she's had it a while now. I told her dad I think it's asthma."

Ahhhhh. Great. Thank you Florence Nightingale. I'm so glad that your community college degree in medicine is being put to good use.

Co-Parenting and Medical Care through Post Divorce Conflict

I've been ruminating on a blog on this particular topic for some time.  This is a very sensitive topic for me, but I'm hoping that putting this down in writing will help me to work through it.

My ex (as I've said in the past) has some very real issues with anxiety.  I know that he struggles with them.  Along with his anxiety comes a common issue - hypochondria.  I lived with him through "cancer" scares, "heart attack" scares, and various other "scares", including mad cow disease, multiple sclerosis, SARs.  He has never had cancer, a heart attack, or any other disease.  Yet, I have absolutely no doubt that the symptoms he believes he is feeling are very real to him.
