You are correct, my husband is a gem and I am so fortunate to have him. I do wish there was more support around me though. He never acts like he is tired of hearing me complain or anything like that, but I think it has to wear on him sometimes. He tells me often that he wishes he could do something more to help me. Most of my family is great, but none of them live around me and they are all busy with their families, etc. Also, most of them really do not get it (shocker right?). I really do not have many friends, especially near by.

I appreciate the support I find here, that is for sure! I know I haven't posted much lately, but I have been lurking. It has really been tough with all going on lately...so overwhelmed!



Thanks again
Nanc
I understand, Nanc. My husband is a gem too. But, I sense sometimes that because he feels he can not make it go away, he feels helpless and sad. My teen daughter is wonderful too, but I try to keep her life as normal as I can.

Other than that, I have no family anymore. And, when I had to stop working I lost all my workplace "friends". Gosh, that's been hard for me.

Anyway, I get it. Keep talking with us here. I'm worried about you feeling like this is all just too much.
