giving up ís an option, but it is the easy way out, you are not a quitter i can see that from your posts, your situation will get easier to cope with, you just have to stay strong, let everyone around you know that you are struggling at the moment, maybe talk to your boss at work, see if they can arrange for you to have a few days sick leave, afterall a few days off now will prevent months off if you become too unwell to carry on and explain to your partner that the reason you have taken some time off work is because he is putting too much on to you,expecting you to run the home, are for the children, earn a wage and run a sunday school! maybe a realisation that the ammount he expects of you will result in less finance into the home will make him a bit more understanding! Be strong with your husband, do it for yourself , tell him you can not carry on running the sunday school whilst your daughter is ill, she needs you more than the children at sundayschool and that if he insists you continue, you will not help out at all with both his home and church requirements!
You need to find the inner strength that you do have and use it to right the balance you need between looking after yourself, your needs and those of your family. you married your partner, not his job!!!! would you be planning lessons for criminals if he were a policeman or jail warden???? no so why should you have to because he is a pastor?? you still are you, a lady, a mum, a human being with rights to partake in activities which you choose, not to be dictated to all the time and made to do things which are detrimental to your health or wellbeing. the choice should not be to give in or not but which way to turn around your life to make it better for yourself.
