Cyn it's wonderful to hear your strength and you gave it everything you had.im sure your husband would want you to have a good life so LIVE.
I think about growing old and taking care of my spouse or him taking care of me I know what I would do but I question him.ive been in this situation 19 yrs and it seems like its a selfish one that if I became ill and now I've relocated to the south away from family up north.I don't know if he'll care for me the same way.
Just venting ,but go on and LIVE your life and enjoy all things possible😎
Princess, I pray your DH would care for you they same way you would care for him. You would also have the choice of moving back with your family who would care for you. I know about the relocating thing--we move 2,000 from CA to NC and I had no family here then. My DH's son lived here but he has been pretty useless sadly. My son moved his family out here but they live over and hour drive away and he works so many hours plus his wife and 3 little girls need him too so I try not to ask him for much. So far he has only had to help me find another vehicle so I could get rid of my gas guzzling truck. Other then that I have tried to make new friends but it isn't as easy as it was hen we were kids. Each day seems like a battle--struggle--2 steps forward and one step back. I am told it just takes time but I have a lot of fight in me and will continue to find my place in life!
When I was first "coming down" with MS, my then husband abandoned me. I came home from work one day to find the house empty and so was the checking account. Mind you, MRI s hadn't been invented yet so I was just "sick" off and on. Fast forward 10 or so years and my new (late) husband not only married me knowing I had this disease but went to the doctor with me, learned about MS and took care of me when I had an "attack".
*sigh*, yes, cyn, he was a wonderful man. He spoiled me for all other men. Just last night I had a "date" at a guy's kitchen table and when I mentioned my MS, I saw him lean his head back and roll his eyes. Nope, won't be a second "date". (He's a neighbor.) I shall still remain married to Earl's ghost.
And that is okay too! Today has been a tough one for me..besides the heat--and it's so hot and humid the dog is in here with me, my sales are horrible. Just never know what or when something will sell. So I just keep listing. Hope everyone is doing okay in this heat!
No worries Maila! My second time around, the DH that just passed was not the model DH! I did love him and he did love me but he was a very difficult person to live with. Very controlling. I just learned to live with it. Most marriages have their problems behind closed doors.
My psychiatrist decided I needed to take a antidepressant last week. The only one I have taken without really bad side effects was Wellbutrin. So she started me on those last week and it's been horrible. She told me to give it time but I just don't want to have to keep taking them. After only a week I should be able to stop them cold turkey and I will call her today. The Wellbutrin she gave me was a slow release and stronger then what I have taken and what I use to take was instant release so maybe that is the difference but in reality I just don't want to take them or any others. These made me feel very sad and I had no motivation. I stopped going to the Zumba and just was very negative. So starting today I hope to get my mind back in order!
