Hi Lisa! Understand you totally. In a similar situation. This group helps me to find my inner strength to deal with it all. Good luck!
Lisa sorry you are going through this added stress in your life. I'm not sure there is a good way to "handle it." Don't stop what you are doing though, because you are doing it for you and that's what counts right now. Remember you can't live your life FOR someone else only for yourself or you won't be happy. Hugs to you. :hug1:
I think I married him in my first go around...did I just say that??? OMG! Gotta laugh my friends, and it needs to be directed at ourselves...others don't always get it (I'm lucky, my wife is sooooo understanding...then again she experienced hell as I was out for 10 days and no one knew if I'd make it). Know your self, you will know where you're going then and who can help you best. What? Tired, just got off golf course...please tho, take care of YOU!
Thank you for your responses. The reality keeps changing and every time it does there's a whole new set of adjustments to make... I don't want to feel like it's a fight every step of the way. Who has the extra energy and time to drag someone along kicking and screaming?!? Anyway, I will keep doing what I need to do and he can get on board or not when he so chooses. He usually comes around, just not on my timing... I really appreciate all the support I'm receiving here. And I had lunch with my good friend, who happens to be legally blind, and when I told her what was going on, she said, don't worry,,, you have me... And my BLIND support. :lol: She's always able to make me laugh. Back to the beginning of the thread, that's my advice for everyone; spend time with the people who make you laugh.
Take some time to chat with Lilly. She had some of the same problems. Maybe you can send her a PM or if she sees this she can send you one. She's probably the best person to give you advice on this subject, at least that I know of. Your story is somewhat parallel to hers with regard to her/your significant other. Just a thought.
Great suggestion, I saw some similarities in one of her posts. Unfortunately, it seems many in the forum can relate. Relationships aren't always easy at the best of times, and stressors like illness really put them to the test. (Or the other way around... Eg. Could not speaking up or speaking out, or not feeling heard or understood on a Chronic basis make one have chronic voice/throat issues? But that's another whole thread.) must tear myself away and participate in my children's lives til later on.
Cindy, what is chakra?
A chakra is an energy center. We have 7 major ones. Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown.
Here is a link if you'd like more information. I don't want to hijack the thread and I don't know if this crosses the religion line although it's not a religion. Just trying to stay out of trouble. :w00t:
