Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hello @PeppiPatty, over here my special friend xx

Hello Everyone

Love to hear from others on the forum if you experience this

My hubby has been diagnosed with lots of things and has had MI all his life

do you find things goes ok and i start to feel confident and wanting to go forward and then everytime something always happens to upset it -- sometimes I think is it a controlling thing ?? that he wants to be in control ??

Don`t know if I am making this up , but i have that feeling ,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

We had a decent storm this morning @Shaz51

Had our uni orientation day rained out and had to move everything indoors. Haven't checked how much rain but it was a lot.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Storms can be fun or not @Shaz51. I lost power overnight recently and was concerned about the food in the fridge going off. Had to use the flashlight function on my phone to find my way around the house.

It's much cooler here after some really hot and humid days. Am enjoying it.

Hope you don't sustain any damage. Take care.

The rain didn't hit us further south @Determined. Might get some rain later tomorrow. Thanks for the check in on my thread too.

Just spoke to my weather man (father -in-law) and we have only had just over 25mm. That was surprising as I would have thought we had a lot more than that today. Had a further 11mm last night.

Hi @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Determined
Still away from home, but quick check in.

@Zorro how is it going with your wife and doctor visit for diabetes?

Trust it is all going ok for you @Former-Member
A bit more comfortable now that the temperature has been turned down.

Noticed a lot of stormy forecasts in Qld, trust your roofs remain intact.
No romantic holiday happening for us, Mr D has cried all but one night.
