Thank you for your note. I feel sometimes that I can’t tell my daughters, have some issues with some sisters so I don’t tell them, and I have told my husband but he doesn’t know what to say. Maybe hold me, say you love me and WE will get through this together. My husband has no clue

jania59,
Your reply to Celia, brought tears to my eyes and an ache in my soul for you. It hit home for me too. About 5 years ago, one of my daughters, she was 40@ that time, told me on a phone call " you have no idea how your health problems have ruined my life." If ever there was a single thing that could make me have a heart attack, that would have been it. I sobbed for the remainder of the call. I was stunned and I let it erase every good thing I had ever done as her mom. It hurts just as much 5 yrs later. I know that she and her husband (highschool sweetheart) have had problems throughout their marriage and still do. I could drag on, but I won't. I wanted to share this, so when I say, I share in your, sister to sister problems, and daughter to mom problems.
I won the lottery with my hubby, my 2nd and I am his 4th wife. Okay, you can stop your OMG SHOCK & 😝 LOL. He's a bit older than me, so maybe he got most all of his "no clue " typical of men attitudes out with his previous 3 wives. For a bit more levity...
Hey, anybody reading this, if you know of a good book for husbands, please share with all of us 🤪‼️ or maybe we could all pitch in and write a book. We could all get super rich. Then we could afford to find the crème dela crème doctors that are super smart and we could maybe feel better ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 I'm so so sorry your husband is not the rock that you need him to be. Like I said in a previous post, mental illness is a real bitch/gremlin, that hurts us in so many different ways, like difficult daughters and clueless husbands. Ps, did you get my DM? Keep sharing with us, we all need to know, somewhere, out there, someone's thinking about us. Shelley
