Life feels hard right now. Giving in to emotions has really hurt me. Hurts others too. I think my primary goal should be trying to stay in peace. Keep a little quietness going. Keep hoping to feel better and support my husband too!

You sound very strong and I'm sorry you're hurting. Supporting your husband is a good thing , but make sure you are supported as well.

Anger turned in today. Angry about the kids. Angry about how I feel. Horrified at my husband's upcoming surgery. Scared about that! Help! We will be married 46 years this June and I think I really hate the idea that he has to have all this surgery on his heart. I am so grieved and I have so few outlets. I can't believe the challenges I have had with the kids. I hope I can realize that it could be better but it could be worse. I think they are trying right now. Overwhelmed! Grieved!

What you are experiencing is perfectly normal. Ask you doctor about being directed to a therapist or support group to help you though this time.

We "think families SHOULD be more supportive". But it is not always true. Sometimes family does not know what to do. So sorry you are going through this. I hope it helps to have us - to write and get your feelings out. I also wish you well in finding support outside the family - it's there but not always easy to find.

But for the battle in me the day was pretty good. Still hurting from inner feelings but I did the right thing. I apologized when I needed to. I kept doors open. I stayed in there. Read that one of the things that is hard to believe is that someone who hurts you still loves you. I know that is true for my husband , son, and my daughter. I still love them too. Not so certain about my daughter in law but I also read I need to think about her point of view. She does just stay so busy. She really doesn't take time off. She works hard running her household. It is truly an interruption for her to deal with any unschedued meeting. I have been trying over the last few weeks to get some help. Not too successfully though. That is troubling too because I just keep on getting worse. My problem is I keep hurting myself on the inside because I keep putting all the blaming on me even if there is good reason why I might be hurt. Truth to tell. I have been in trouble for quite awhile . The trouble finding help hurts! Writing here is a major outlet and I am grateful for kind responses.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
