To throw away the love of such a lovely son? What kind of parents could do that? Heartbreaking, so heartbreaking.

[@sarahsnowe]

Religion--especially its loonier offshoots--has a lot to answer for. These people need to shake their pointed little heads and assess their priorities: their son or some nonsense based on discredited ancient mythologies and the delusions of a 19th-century demagogue.

Watching the grandmother & granddaughter interacting reminded me of my grandmother who lived with us. We were close. After I graduated from college, I went back home. My grandmother was admitted to hospital with Congestive heart failure. My cousin was supposed to stay with her but she had been called into work. She asked me to stay with her. I did & and I was so glad I did. She had 11 children, numerous grandchildren & great grandchildren. She named everyone of them & said something positive about us all. We were holding hands & talking softly. She was moved upstairs into a room & they asked her to shuffle off the gurney into the bed. I looked at her face & immediately I knew something was wrong. The nurses had barely left the room when I yelled Code Blue. She sadly passed away then. I am so glad I had the pleasure of being with her on her final day on earth. God bless her!. And I hope these two people will have many happy times together.

[@renb6133]

Josh & Isaac are such an adorable couple. Clearly, Isaac went through considerable pain after being rejected by his family. These two seem like a great balance for each other. Love is love & I wish these two much happiness together & if possible, the family they dream of! 💕

[@SnowPink90]

I was 15 when my grandmother sadly passed away from Alzheimer’s. We had tried to have her live with us, but it was impossible. We lived in Calgary Alberta Canada, and she lived in Montreal so that made it really hard but when we did live in Montreal we saw them every weekend and her and I were close because she was a type two diabetic and I type one. We would always be talking about diabetes and what it entailed. I really miss her.

Josh and Isaac are absolutely adorable, and I hope that they have many years of love and happiness together. Shame on Isaac's parents for disowning their wonderful son.

[@sallywallace851]

If you've never been with someone in the ER with a head injury who keeps asking the same questions repetitively, then it would be hard to understand how stressful it is. I'm sure I wasn't as patient as I should have been with my husband. It's so scary.

[@58Kym]

I did the same thing, sat next to my husband for hours listening to the same questions, over and over. In the end I sat behind the head of the bed where he couldn’t see me. He stopped with questions and dozed instead. I should have left him there and then as I found out he was cheating.

[@ImOnAJourney]

I’m going through that with my 92 year old aunt. When she asks me something more than once I change the subject. I usually ask her what her childhood was like - she can talk about that for an hour. And while it’s all stories I’ve heard, but it stops her from repeating the questions of the day 😊

[@ingerfaber3411]

@@ImOnAJourney What a lovely way of helping her and making her feel valued

[@ImOnAJourney]

@@ingerfaber3411 She and my Uncle were like second parents to me. Just before he passed they put me in charge of their estate, and he sat on my couch in tears asking me to take care of my aunt after he was gone. I would have done it without him asking, but it truly is an honor. They have a son who’s about as useless as writing on glass with a pencil, and he’s as greedy as a wildfire looking for something to burn. He has tried every way under the son to get at her money. I finally blocked him because I’m tired of telling him he can have his inheritance after his mother is deceased. He hasn’t bothered to visit her for almost 10 years. I can’t even imagine treating my mother like that!

I was lucky enough to have very accepting parents, but my ex was taken out of school, forced into conversion therapy, and then when that didn’t work, kicked him out to the street and the family cut contact. He was 14. Even his twin sister was so brainwashed that she stopped talking to him. I’ll never understand why anyone could treat their kids that way.

[@renb6133]

Wow, love, that’s a lot for only 18! You’re the same age as my daughter. She doesn’t have many physical issues but, although very smart, severe autism causes her enormous emotional pain. I’m glad you’ve survived all those horrific health crises & I hope you get some long term help for your pain. I’ve got numerous ruptured discs & chronic, ghastly pain, so I understand how debilitating it can be. It’s even worse for you because you’re so incredibly young. I hope they find some long term ways to help you & manage your pain. Take good care. 💕

[@SnowPink90]

My sister developed sciatica and she’ll fill me up in agony playing in bed on a heating pad. I’m sorry that you have to go through this. I’ve been an hour or two away from dying, but survived every time. I’ve had 21 operations and 2 more coming up. One is on my hand which I don’t look forward to and the other is my most serious operation and that’s double bypass open heart surgery. I hope that’s very soon. Life sure has its surprises doesn’t it? I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for 53yrs, so I have all that going on as well. You’re doing so well even though you’ve been through so much. Your Will to Live is very strong and that shows people how strong you are!! Take care. 🥰

I would love them and support them. We all are sinners, no one is perfect except God. In following Him I choose to live my life a certain way, but I was always taught hate sin but love sinners.

[@maggiematthews3517]

I'm not sure that's correct @Treasuremonk. In this episode alone Emma asks if her husband knows (what has happened) and in many other episodes we see people referring to their husband or wife. It's been my experience that it's usually single or divorced people who will refer to their current squeeze as "my partner" but most people use the more traditional "husband" or "wife." Certainly it would be odd to hear married people speaking of a spouse as their partner. In the case of Josh and Isaac, I notice that Josh does wear a wedding ring so perhaps they are a married couple and would be expected to use the traditional terms.
