Often feel like that with my daughter. Its like living with two different people , and just to see the familiar one is such bliss, often I try to hang on to those times and let them sustain me through the rough patches. Hope you can do that too.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935604496504003036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-16885346914904617762009-05-31T09:26:50.011-05:002009-05-31T09:26:50.011-05:00I'm glad Kirby is feeling better.
I was thinking ...I'm glad Kirby is feeling better. <br />I was thinking about your frustrating situation with your DH and I wondered if he might feel like he has more control in your household if you were to choose his chores together. That way, he'd feel like his input was important but you'd have veto power in case he wanted to do something non-productive, like putting together the bed in your DD's room that you wrote about in one of your older posts.<br />It's easy to love the person while hating the disease. That's why I suggested you attend a few Al-Anon meetings. It's not exclusively for the loved ones of alcoholics and you might find some support there and a few ideas for making your life easier.Miz Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650747741395559803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-72004482847524998582009-05-28T21:15:22.671-05:002009-05-28T21:15:22.671-05:00I'm so glad Kirby has more energy.

It's so hard to remember DH sometimes. <br /><br />Maybe the wood is something you could together. I imagine it's a little hard to talk over the machine, so y'all could spend some focused and uncomplicated time together. No need for conversation, just to complete a common goal together could be beneficial. And then you have wood and maybe feel a little refreshed with each other.Elizabeth A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06741728597715923701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-72293183710804749452009-05-28T19:35:23.717-05:002009-05-28T19:35:23.717-05:00I feel like I understand you so much.
I love my ...I feel like I understand you so much. <br /><br />I love my Hubbins so much but I want to divorce all those F'ing spasms and pressure sores and dysreflexia. I can't take the roller coaster up and down with his health. Not knowing if he will have a stroke or wake up with sepsis or something awful. It's killing me and the reality is I do have to do everything and it's killing him. <br /><br />I try when I can to talk to him, the man I fell in love with, not the bitter quad who feels useless. I try to explain to him that I know it must be so much worse going through all that pain and fear. But there's only so much I can take. It makes me feel so selfish and like maybe I am kicking him when he is down and for stuff he can't control. <br /><br />Do you ever feel like that?Reighniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03249582936717929919noreply@blogger.com
