Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 Just stab your husband with an infected needle and see what he thinks now that he has it! I'm sorry, (not) but I can see why you want to drink- having to live with that demeaning attitude is bound to get to you and make you depressed. Take charge of your health because no one else seems to love you enough to do it for you. I wish I could help you, other than give advice. I'm not a pro-divorce person but you have given me a second thought on the benefits of it. I am happily married (23 years) and I love my wife. Thats not to say that we don't bicker, occasionally, but when it really matters I want to protect her. You must really love him to stay with him and put up with that crap. I have known couples who have separated for a while and it seemed to help their marriage. You know- " absence makes the heart grow fonder " .

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2000 Report Share Posted May 28, 2000 , are you insulted by what I said? Geez, I hope not. I never meant to insult you. Please believe me, I have been there. I also have kids. 2 of them and 2 handicapped brothers, one of which lives with me. I'm sorry if you mean me, and what exactly did I say to offend you?

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 : Of course your husband has been hurt by the things alcohol made you do (been there...hated mine). We spouses often use " detachment " to protect ourselves. But it's a family disease, and everyone close to the alcoholic really should participate in the treatment. Did your husband attend Alanon meetings, etc? The more the non-drinker learns about alcoholism and the role they may have played, the more they can turn their wrath on the disease and not the alcoholic. By the way, you may run into doctors who consciously or subconsciously feel you are to blame for your Hep C because of your lifestyle. Drop 'em if you sense that. I hear a lot of similarities on this list. Don't know if these are unique to Hep C or if this list just mirrors the general population.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Tree, My husband went to Alanon while I was in treatment but then stopped. It's almost as if he doesn't want to acknowledge my alcoholism or my hep C. (sometimes I feel the same way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Hope you, don't get tired of hearing from me. I have to say something about the feelings from the person who doesn't have this disease. I as said before, I do not have this disease, and when my husband came home from a dr.'s appt. and said he had this I just looked at him and said OH Well. All the memories from his past drinking years came flooding back. I was very, very angry. Kept thinking about myself and how dare He do this to ME !!!! When I went to the DR.'S with him and was explained exactly what was what, I felt like a big JERK. His DOC was very good at explaining. He wrote a letter for my Husband to get emergency medical help. Reading this letter became a REALITY, right there in BLACK and WHITE... We have always had good communication between us and I was in limbo as to what to say to this man who I have been married to for 26 years and had 5 children with. I did manage to tell him how I felt and then learned How HE felt. He was scared to death literally. Now Thank God and Our Love for each other we talk about this and the future a lot more and honestly. Our Kids know and so do Our family members, they each chose to believe what ever they want, Not OUR problem. I hope this helps some for you to try and understand the other end of this. Now I am on all the time to help find what ever I can and then He and I go over it together and decide what to do next. Irish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it your talking to me. I didn't see a name though. I only gathered from what you said about the way he treated you-like quit faking it. I see red when someone implies that I or someone else is pretending this Hep-C thing is a joke or nothing to worry about. If you're giving him a hard time then maybe you deserve some of the treatment, but He should also realize that we act " crabby " when we're not feeling good. I never said to leave your daughter & kids. Don't know where that came from. I said seperate for a time-not divorce or leave for good. If someone is treating someone else pretty rotten I don't consider it wise to stay there and take it, especially if theres physical abuse. I know there are a lot of determining factors and some people drive each other into a fight, but if you need help and aren't getting it because your husband thinks its a joke-he needs to wake up. If I'm off the wall-I'm sorry, but thats the way I feel. I've seen people die from this stuff because they didn't think it was important enough to get help and too stubborn to do what was necessary to stay alive. If you're suicidal, thats one thing, but if you really want to get help then nothing should stop you from getting that help. Especially not your husband (spouse). He should be trying to get you to where you need to be. If your drugging and drinking still-than you are killing yourself. My wife is 100% supportive of me getting healed of this, just as I was 100% behind her getting healed of breast cancer. I was there for her-getting her special stuff and attention all the way through the Chemo and radiation and surgery. I personally would feel real bad if I had let down in some way and she died cause of it. Thats what I'm talking about. It's not a time for games-understand? Life would be very hard on me without my wife, and I expect others to feel the same way about each other. Its called love. Love is not words and having sex, its committment to that person for the rest of their life, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, in richness or poorness, to death us do part! I try to be a man of my word. If I make a decision to do something and I don't follow through with what I have promised to someone-I feel bad. I feel embarrased and kind of cheap. Thats the way I figure everyone should be but it's obvious that's not gonna happen. Apparently not too many people have a conscience anymore. Ok enough of the soapbox.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2000 Report Share Posted November 22, 2000 , I've recently related that was physically abused in a private daycare. How I came to know about it is because one of the teachers called me. I found out later that it was a teacher. She pretended to be a parent and said she wanted to remain anonymous, but her daughter had come home telling her of all the ways the teachers abused her. This lady sounds like you. She loved her job, was the only special needs child in the class room, and I really think she felt like she was protecting other children. I've never liked rotation care. They did it with because they said no one would be able to stay with him all the time without getting burned out, that they needed the change of scenery. If you can't do anything else, call the parents and let them know what is going on. The parents can request observation. I had a time when I wanted signed to. I requested observations from 5 totally disinterested parties to evaluate whether he needed sign in the class. (of course, even though 4 out of 5 said he did, the teacher refused on the basis that she didn't sign for her other kids and wasn't going to with .) This just sounds so bad, there has to be something that can be done to stop it.
