So much of what you wrote at the beginning is my story, except my husband does not admit that he has anything wrong. Even though multiple doctors have spoken plainly about his condition- he will not talk to me or anyone about it.
Today I am having one of those days and I just want to be alone. He asked me why I did not smile anymore and I did not have the heart to tell him. He is driving me to distraction, he blames me for not listening to him, and then watches TV most of the day.
I understand why - his brain does not work right and he also has osteoporosis and bad balance. He could give up - but he has not. I admire him for that, but at the same time I am so tired of biting my tongue, sweating in my house because he is always cold, handling all the money, folding laundry and putting it away, and doing all the driving. Oh- and working full time.
I pray every night that he will find a good friend that can just be a friend.
I am a homebody and he wants to leave the house every chance he gets.
I am just so darn tired…
So everyone- hang in there!,
