Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I had morning tea with my mum, aunty, uncle, cousin and second cousin this morning , very nice , very noisy

home now on the computer @soul, @JoJo99, @Former-Member, @Determined, @Grasshopper3

might make some toasted sandwiches for lunch

@Shaz51

Sure you can ask, I am nearly 55years old Shazzabazza, and I learned I need to keep moving, otherwise I stiffen up.

Enjoy your lunch! It sounds you still have quite a bit of family around you, coming to see you for a coffee.

It must be a busy time for you, the chatter and catering, when all you want to do is rest.

In a way I am lucky, I can pick my time to Skype them as my family as they live overseas, (and daughter interstate)

Other days, I feel frustrated as I cannot help them or hug them when my mum's had another fall. (mum suffers from Parkinsons and dad is her carer.

I hope you do get some enjoyment out of their visits, they wouldn't visit you and your hubby if they didnt care?

How is hubby today?

Love,

thank you @Grasshopper3

but they never come to visit us i afraid

I went to my mum`s by myself this morning for a cuppa with my mum who is 85 and she had visitors

mum is still recovering from having a bowel surgery where they removed 15 inches of dead bowel which had died

Hello @Former-Member, @Grasshopper3, @soul, @JoJo99, @Determined, @Anony18, @Former-Member, @Rose96, @Owlunar

My Husband has written this down for me to write hear about his thoughts

he wrote ; My thoughts lately is that life is a game of survival and I DON`t WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE !!!!!

After 57 years of life i would like to just sit it out , I DON`T WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE

exspecially when you see and hear how much harder it`s getting for everyone

He is still talking @Determined, @Former-Member which is good

I am trying not to cry , years ago I would be crying by now and he would be getting more and more upset

I guess we all think that way at times @Shaz51. You'll need to make a judgement from past experiences, his demeanour at the moment and anything else he says. Wishing you strength.
