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 I'm really sorry to hear that @Shaz51 I'm sure that cruise was something you were looking forward to.

It's not much fun going on your own, that's why I've never been on one.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

That is a blow @Shaz51 especially as you have been looking forward to it. Why won't mr Shaz go? Hopefully mum may pick up and change her mind. You definitely need and deserve the break.

My darling has always wanted to do a cruise and we have been looking into it but after some recent tragic events on a cruise ship in north qld on the news earlier this year darling has been fixated on the tragedy to the point I will now refuse to go as I don't believe it would be safe (for my darling). We have not had that discussion yet but I know she will be quite disappointed.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Mr shaz does not like to be on water on a ship for that long

I think mum biggest concern is her diet she has to be on , soon fingers crossed xx that I can relieve her worry @Determined

I too hope Mum.can see her way clear to go @Shaz51.

Hearing you loud and clear @Determined, I haven't felt inclined to look into cruising.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

@Determined, I wonder whether maybe instead of a cruise, you could perhaps look into a resort holiday once the house move has happened. Cruise ships are effectively floating resorts. That might be a way of saying "instead..." not "no".
