Re: ISOLATION

I totally get it. I have a similar situation. My husband is 44yo. We don't have kids together but he has two adult children, both who struggle with the guilt of not being able to help us more. He sleeps a lot also. Rarely go anywhere as he simply feels too unwell or we go out and need to come home quickly due to pain, vomiting etc. I feel a little numb, traumatised emotionally. We moved out of the city almost 2 years ago to get a better life. We love our home but it is a lonely place for me. He doesn't like people coming over and I, like you, try to fill in my time around the house. I have my own health issues so also need a lot of rest. Working full time means I stress & worry all day but his medical expenses & medication costs take up a large amount of my income. I don't know what to do anymore. We don't have much support. My mum is wonderful but his family r selfish & cold. A source of great anger for me! Thinking of you as u continue on the journey you r both on. Thank u for posting as I read a very familiar story. Love & prayers 🙏🏻🦋
