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 ,

Hugs and hugs @Shaz51
It is more than ok to feel sad but don't beat yourself up for loving him more than your real dad. Sometimes we are closer and have better bonds to some more than others and that is ok.

@Shaz51 feelings of guilt mixed with grief can be confusing...

Thinking of you especially at the moment.
