Still doesn't make sense. A business started by the father certainly has employed many married employees, thus must have been presented with this request. Many small businesses provide health care insurance to employees at no cost but make business decisions not to offer it to spouses. If so, even though your medical bills must be a tremendous strain on your family, and adds to the additional rancor you both feel towards the boss, it sounds like it is unjustified. No matter how much money your boss has or how much you money your husband brings in it sounds like the business decision is to limit coverage to employees. Maybe expecting that a exception be made for you is unrealistic and only adds to your frustration, anger and stress.

We all know that one of the quickest ways to wind up our pain is through stress. We are all in the same boat. It is so hard to calm things down with the daily struggles that we all must learn how to manage.

Please try to give yourself the healing power of stress reduction. You mentioned in a prior post that you can do things like go shopping, attend you son's sporting events, make jewelry,etc. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS A PRECIOUS GIFT. Many readers like me hope to get to the place you are one day.

Please consider the threat to your pretty good physical capabilities posed by your reaction to the stressors in your life.

We can't control anything about CRPS but we have much to say about how much we suffer as a result. Only we can choose to reduce suffering.

Hoping there are better days ahead for you and your family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
