wow, first let me say thank you for your thoughtful responses! i truly appreciate them.
yes, this is certainly a complicated issue. we've tried many different variations of that initial conversation but nothing seems stick.
there's no doubt you are right when you say the only way for this to work successfully is for her to fully embrace the idea. our challenge has been getting her to accept what is happening and make a commitment to changing patterns of behavior that are deeply rooted in decades of living with this.
she hears the words, but won't do anything about it. she acknowledges that it's important but won't start down the path. she's an extremely bright woman so she fully understands all of the health consequences. yet, we can't get her to take a genuine first step down the road.
frustrating. |
