So I've been going through some serious depression. My dad passed away unexpectedly in March and he never got,to meet his grandkids... my step dad could possibly have skin cancer but has no insurance to get better.... my mom's health isn't the greatest, they live in Florida so I can't see them.... my great uncle just passed away from heart failure. . I had to have an abortion at 12 week's and 5 days because my husband and I can't afford another baby.... I'm a mess... and my support is null and void it feels.... so my husbands friend who's 24 has cancer that spread to his spine... and he wants to give him support now as much as he can... but I need support so badly and I don't get it feom him it feels.... I feel empty and alone.... should I be jealous of feeling like my husband wants to willingly give support to someone else when I so desperately need it too? I don't know what to do anymore except cry... I have no interest in doing anything alone, yet I'm never alone because I'm a stay at home mom who can never afford to go anywhere since I make no money... what do I do???

It sounds like things are really terrible, and that you do need support. Can you leave your kids with your husband anytime so you can get out some? Around here, there are grief support groups that meet in hospitals, that might be a place for you to get some support.

You're not selfish at all. You have a lot of things going on that are very sad. Terminating your pregnancy also messes with your hormones which makes it all seem worse. I hope you can work it out with your husband or friend to get some time for yourself to get counseling. I'm so sorry you are having a rough time.

First, I'm so sorry you are going through this miserable experience. I'm really glad that you are reaching out.

It is not selfish to expect your spouse to put you first. My wife and I made a vow that we would forsake all others. That even includes our kids. We put each other over our kids. They exist because of our love, and our love is what sustains them.

That being said, you have no control over your husband. His heart is in the right place. Of course he wants to be there for his friend.

Have you told him how you are feeling? He sounds like he could be a compassion/loving person. Are you worried that that is a selfish thing for you today or perhaps worried that he will see it that way?

((((much hugs))))
