Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Our D1 has brought us plane tickets to fly to her place for a week holiday next year @Former-Member, @Smc, @Determined, @Appleblossom, @Adge

That is very kind of her @Shaz51

That should be a lovely break away for you @Shaz51 😀

Is that in Darwin or down south ?

Darwin @Determined, @Former-Member

Mr shaz said tonight that he knows he will be wanting to get back home within a couple of days

Feeling your pain there @Shaz51

On every one of our holidays my Darling has wanted to turn around and head home before we even reach our destination.

that is what happened last year , we drove 15 hours to our S3 and the second day there he wanted to go home , he could not stay @Determined

so then we went and visited S2 and then Mr shaz`s sister on the way home

Is plane ticket flexible just in case @Shaz51?

I have done some crazy big days driving to get my darling home sooner @Shaz51

Biggest was over 18 hours towing a caravan. (most of which she slept for).

But I do it because it makes a difference and she does appreciate me accommodating her anxiety in circumstances like that, even if some times it is a delayed expression of appreciation so not complaining. it can be frustrating though 😞

I really feel for my darling when she cant relax while we are away. And usually when we get back she cant remember the anxiety only the good time we had so it is worth going away.

I am hoping that by limiting our next holiday to 4 days it will make a difference @Shaz51 @Determined.

As we no longer have a need to head to Victoria (Last Grandparent passing) I am aiming for the same @Former-Member, our last Holiday was 6 days including 2 days of travel and I recon day 5 was long enough. we did the trip home in 1 day when I realy would have liked to stop at a beach side location half way along. 4 days is ideal though I agree.
