My life is on such a bad roll now a days that I find it hard to breathe!
I am just coming out of depression and I thought I'd take a short break from household and go be with my parents for a while. My therapist thinks it is a good idea because I was overwhelmed with all the things going on at home.
Now my in laws do not agree (they don't believe in mental illness and recovery and hence I had to keep all hush hush)and I was planning to keep it a secret and have my time off with the knowledge of my husband . Today he tells me that his relative is visiting during this time and to go ahead with my plan and he wants to entertain the relative at our house during my absence. The problem is that this relative lives near my in laws and a regular visitor at their house. This will mean I will not have the quiet break I planned for(because this relative will go and spill everything to my in laws) and the stress of it all is taking a toll on me which my therapist says could be really bad for me in this condition.
I don't know what to do. My husband doesn't seem to get how important it is for me to take a break and he will not budge not to entertain this person . I just want to sit and cry!!
