My wife has been struggling with agoraphobia for many years.. She is now house bound and she cannot leave for any reason. We live close to some really nice restaurants, but we can't make our way to any of them.
She's a brilliant, compassionate person who cares for others, including her mother and sister, who, with her 4 kids, has been living with us for 3.5 years after a bad home situation.
Nowadays, my wife's anxiety has forced her to demand that her sister and niece stay here at the house to help her from having a panic attack. She works with a T who comes to the house once a week.
Today was awful. The 20 year old niece didn't want to stay in the house all day. that's natural for a person, no matter the age, to want to get out with her friends.
my wife got upset and my niece started to cry. it's sad, but I'm looking for some advice, or just support.
