Unsupportive and exploitive family members

How do my fellow epileptics deal with unsupportive family members? I am also referring to how you deal with people who manipulate others by exploiting your diagnosis with epilepsy. I have family members attempt to make others believe that "They (you) are unable to take care of yourself ..... emotionally unstable....."

Our community is always here for you and understands the challenges that come with epilepsy. Thinking of you, Julie (team member)
