Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

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 ,

Eeeeekkkk!!!!

omstars - imagineActually @Shaz51 - I saw the perfect mower for Mr Shaz when I was looking for exessive mowers in a pic - now let me see if I can find it again

I can imagine this might cause some dissension - but can I tell you a story about my brother and the perfect mower

Now if I stop there you need to know so I will tell it

My brother's job was to mow the lawn which in my opinion was better than washing the dishes - we were teenagers actually - and Dad's mower was one of those that needed pushing -

And my brother wanted one that had a motor and Dad got one that had the bla des rotating from a motor - and my brother still moaned about it and I was still washing the dishes

So Dad finally got a motor mower and my brother was still unhappy and I was still washing the dishes and about then we both got married and I was still washing dishes and he was still mowing lawns - he wanted a mower he could sit on and eventually I got a dish-washer

Okay - more interestingly - about your Mum - I do understand her Shaz - I have no intention of taking on something unless I know myself I really need it and I guess I will worry people too - some of us really hang onto our independence and aging is an event we do not want to be part of while we know it is inevitable or the alternative is inevitable and time keeps passing

But in care my mother was walking independently and well until they gave her a walker and I guess they gave it to her because of their insurance but the next day after they gave it to her she was dependent on it and I understand your mum very well

But I also see it's tough for you - and I am thinking of you
