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 ,

Oh poor @Shaz51. That does not sound nice at all. I really hope it resolves quickly, and that it is not the gall bladder. Try your best to hydrate.

How do you feel about officially becoming your mum's carer?

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

it does not make any difference to me @Former-Member, I would look after my mum anyway and over the years the care has been getting more and more

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I was the same with my dad @Shaz51, we do it anyway. I went for it eventually to get recognition more than anything. The carer's allowance is only $9 day (i use to work for $30hr so, yeah - 30x24=720😏), not that we're 'at it' 24/7 but 9 might cover your petrol Shaz. Lije i said - its more about the recognition, the paperwork, having a dr say its needed - especiallt in my case where nobody else would 'step up' and with 2 vindictive siblings who just want to shove him in a home & forget about him, or bitch about his care (seen the type), i needed that recognition for dad too. Everyone's different.
