I am depressed, ok here is my story. I don't mean to offend anyone either. My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for about a year, we have a bond that nobody believes exists. He has charcot marie tooth disease, so he walks but not exactly "normal" meaning his knees go up when he walks...anyways My family especially my mom are having trouble accepting his situation. I am 20 years old and as they say "you are beautiful so why be with someone like him?" I have to go through that talk everyday to a point where I cant take it anymore so I was forced to end it with him. Has anyone been in similar stories like mine? i am losing hope....
