to Mark...

Hey Mark,

I just felt compelled to write to you. You are always here for

everyone and I just wanted to give you support.

I know what you are talking about when it gets to getting the

kids to do their chores, it is really hard. My younger daughter

sometimes gives me a hard time about doing things around the house,

especially when Jackie is sick. Sometimes I just don't ask. My

husband and I both work and sometimes it is easier to do it

ourselves. Jackie is really sick this week, she is on clear liquids,

and she is in major pain if she doesn't eat. She really almost

always starts eating soft foods the same day she starts clear

liquids, but not this week. Both my girls do help don't get me wrong

but sometimes it is just hard to get them to, so I hope your wife

appreciates you for that part. My argument with my husband is I have

to get the kids to do stuff and he doesn't even tell them to. He

will just do it himself.

I do hope you just keep the communication open, which is hard, but it

will probably help. I think more husband and wives have the same

problem you are having than you think. I hear alot of people,

friends, coworkers, etc... with the same problem. All we all can do

is try to talk to our spouses and see what each other is missing. My

husband is clueless sometimes, even when I draw him a picture, LOL.

I really hate that you are depressed but I know where you are

coming from, I feel that way too. I think it is good you opened

yourself up here for everyone to give you support. You are so ALWAYS

here for everyone. So you just keep venting here as much as

possible, I am sure you will feel very supported. Talk to ya soon,
