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 ,

I guess you are on your trip @Shaz51

Or chilling

I hope you are taking time away with Mr Shaz and he is not too anxious - time together might help him - certainly help you - you work far more than I do

All the best and thinking of you

Dec

@Shaz51

You have a heck of a lot happening there with Mr Shaz, Mum and grief with the loss of Uncle. It is OK to feel sad and to acknowledge your fears about leaving Mum as she becomes increasingly frail.

Perhaps challenging some of the 'what if' thoughts could be of help to you.

My dear @Shaz51

So pleased your mums health has improved. It must be a big relief. She will be just fine in your absence, and Im sure Auntie will keep you informed.

Yes a huge week for you. And indeed a huge couple of months.

Now its time for you. Go to Darwin and enjoy the experience, and the chance for you and Mr Shaz to spend time with your step D.

I look forward to hearing all about it upon your return.

Sorry Ive not been around. Been in the city re hubbys hospitalisation past two days. Looking like expected 3 nights may become 7, at last estimate. And my Mum has a kidney infection, and if not improved in a couple of days, her GP is threatening hospital.
