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 ,

Long story @Former-Member .... two failed marriages .... kids from both .... access stand-offs and vindictive second wife who disappeared with their kids for two years .... traffic accident that nearly cost his life .... but married again now to a lovely country lass with past struggles of her own and a big heart .... mi issues and physical ailments for both of them too .... but making their way, thankfully.

A rough trot from the sounds of it @Faith-and-Hope. I hope he grows old with his current wife.

I guess different familial relationships evoke different feelings, as you said, each of us having differing circumstances in relation to the absences.

Have a couple of other matters on my mind which have probably influenced my feelings today. Thanx for listening F&H.
