You know, Lisa, I was thinking about you last night when I was scooting down to the grocery store. Had to get some cat food for the herd before the storm came.

I was telling you "simple suppers" and "let the housework go". You were saying that your hubby does all that.

Yeah, but, you haven't given up the "responsibility" for all that. That's why you feel so guilty now.

Look at it this way, sugar. Your primary job now is to get yourself well. In loving-caring relationships, there'll be give-and-take like that. He'll do stuff now because he can and you can't. One day, when you get your balance back, you'll be able to do for him. What you do for him won't necessarily be the same type of thing that he does for you.

There's no scale that balances tasks. One dishwash here, one trash-take-out there. The balance is in the loving and the caring and in the heart.

You do your part -- get your balance back and get yourself into a position where you feel more able to cope. It all works out -- if you let the guilt go.

BIG HUGS.
