Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Listen I haven't the guts to ask my wife what I was like, although I was called some terrible names. Maybe she was on my deaf side and I wasn't hearing her properly. She did cry a lot and I was not nice to live with for 12 months. But she stuck by me and I am grateful that she did. That was ten years ago. Aussie .

To help her cope better ? Hmmm ,, Always be positive, even when I feel like crap. Never loose sight of the big picture . This is fine in therory of course, but I'm not known as 'Marcus the Heartless Bastard ' for nothing .. It's so easy to be a burden on your caregiver, you just have to think what it must be like to be in their shoes and lighten up a little.. Make sure you get out and enjoy life as best as you can. It all helps. My five cents worth Marcus > > >Listen I haven't the guts to ask my wife what I was like, although I >was called some terrible names.
