Estoy agobiado con la enfermedad de mi hijo, a veces no sé que hacer para ayudarle con su enfermedad.

So is "me agobian" saying I am overwhelmed "with"? Or is that word just not used in this type of sentence?

I hate the damn diabetes.

Hit = golpear.

La última frase todavía no suena natural, pero no sé como rectificarlo en una sola frase. La mejor idea que tengo actualmente sería:

Damn diabetes. I hate it.

I don't have words for you, Crotalito. I don't think there are words for such situation . But there are many people with this illness and I think they can do a normal life with medical treatment. The important thing is his quality of life, you must give him the best.

A kiss for your son.

Fine job, Lou Ann!

Right sentences, wrong attitude.


"Sobre" was not wrong, but "de" sounds more natural to me.
