My wife, too, bears my burden. In a strange way, she was "walking on eggshells" before my diagnosis for obvious reasons and is still sort of walking on eggshells because she wants things to work out. Stuff has been good lately so we all just build on the goodness and stay positive. It isn't easy, I have a lot of triggers, one of which is things not working out as I planned. I have trouble adjusting and ran into a wall today.
But I'm slowly learning to let life come to me and deal with whatever I get. Oddly enough, though, if I order pancakes for breakfast and get eggs instead, I won't complain and just eat them. Go figure!
