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 ,

Lots of love here too @Shaz51. A friend of mine calls her stepsons "children of her heart". Sounds like that's very much you too.

Cuddles = 😀.

Half days = 👍

(Would this be sustainable a couple of days a week?)
