Remember when Willy Wonka came out of the factory stumbling and barely able to walk and then he does the back flip and surprises everyone ? Does anyone struggle with their loved ones acting as if they were on death’s door, not even able to lift their heads off the pillow, sleeping all day, etc. And then when certain people are around (particularly peers and not family) they are able to do cartwheels and look/act as spry as a teenager? I feel terrible thinking I should be so happy that they want to do things with these other people, do they just feel comfortable enough around family that they don’t put on a facade around us? Are they in tremendous pain when they are performing for these people ? I’m so conflicted
