  1. Spot on!!! It’s like I’m trying my best (and fastest) to sew up the arterial laceration you inflicted upon me so I don’t hemorrhage to death; and I really don’t have the capacity right now to tend to your little paper cut.

  2. Exactly. it’s so demoralizing because it’s like having someone break your leg and injure their own in the process. After it happens, they beg you to stay and convince you they’ll never hurt you again, and they’ll help you learn to walk again. Only for them to then say but only one of us can have crutches and it’s me.

  3. OMG and that is why I am tired and want to walk! After 4 yrs I started saying I am not your Mother I need a husband. He is such a baby that can’t make a decision about anything. I want to feel safe and loved but I am feeding the baby that throws tantrums if I don’t recognize the husband before the screw-up! Oh, and did I mention I cuss now for the first time in my life! Not proud of that either and he cries about that too!
    HELP!!!
