I was just wondering if there is any link between Nparents and chronic pain.

Personally I've been in pain all my life. As a kid I would have terrible growing pains and pain from activities. As an adult I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and live in pain everyday. (Although I also have some spinal issues and a few other things)

I'm just wondering if having pain was a coping mechanism for dealing with all the feelings we had to hide.

Do you have any chronic pain issues?

Are any of your Nparents hoarders. I went NC with my mom and I'm dreading the day she dies. I'm dreading cleaning out her house and storage unit. I just can't leave it to my brother alone. It may seem cold to be dreading her death for this reason but it is SO much stuff. There is literally only a loveseat to sit on no beds accessible. There is only one accessible door and all the windows have been nailed shut. If that isn't enough she has an indoor smoking habit and allowed her dog to use the bathroom in the house.
