I live with my dad, and sometimes it's very frustrating. In exchange for not paying rent, I'm supposed to help out around the house and cook dinner, and sometimes he gets very frustrated at me when I'm hurting. I understand that it's very generous of him to let me live here since I can't afford my own place right now, but when I'm struggling with my IC and he says things like this...
"I don't know why you can't get a second opinion."
"How do they expect anyone to live on this diet?"
"You're too young to have a condition like this."
"Your doctor doesn't know what he's talking about."
"Isn't there some sort of cure? I don't know why you won't go back to the doctor."
...it's not helpful, it just makes me angry!
