No matter how much other people, husbands, wives, partners, parents, no matter how much you try to explain, no matter how much they educate themselves, they will never 'get it' until they themselves have personally experienced it. All they see is warning signs. They do not see the build up for days or weeks before hand, where you are only just holding it together, 'toeing the line' All they see is the result. And it scares them. They don't want you to be there, they want to help. And more often than not, they panic. Rather than giving you the time and space to breathe, they feel overwhelmed with concern, and need to fix you rather than accept that in some cases you have the ability to fix yourself with downtime.
At least they care enough to show it.......
