I have been in here many times and have read through the messages.
But today i felt I needed to write. Today I got asked for the umpteen time
"how can you deal with your husbands Ch" and you dont look
very good.(I admit i look tired and worn out). But the way that
they've said it was just so damn annoying. You see Rich (my husband)
has been going through this cycle for 3 months now. We have a business
and i have been there trying to help run it. I come home at noon to
check on him. And I also take care of our 2 boys. So you can
understand how very stressful our lives are right now.
This cycle has been rough to say
the least. He's been mean and moody..this cycle has worn him down.
Ive been grouchy and moody too..Because im worn out.
This cycle has been very very hard on our lives..
But we will get through it..AND this is why..
Last week I came down with a very bad sinus infection.
As I laid in bed with a fever and a headache, my 9 yr old son brought
me a cup of ice water with one of his silly straws
to make my throat feel better,my 6 yr old brought me his
pillow cuz it has the rugrats on it. Rich was having a rough
time. But he came in and brought me a cold towel and medicine.
then laid on the couch to fight off his Ch. LOVE for my family
is why I do this. Love for me is why they did this.
Loving and supporting each other
is the strenght that helps us all survive through the
rough times..With all that crap that goes on in the world
love and support can lift a heavy heart. So if anyone wonders
why ive lived 14 yrs doing this. I hope that you can understand why.
He would do no less for me..that I do know.
Sorry If this is a bit much but I needed to get it out.
Praying everyone can have a peaceful night
Thanks.
