Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Ann, I wish there was a way to ease the burden off of yor shoulders right now. I know *exactly* how it is to be the only adult in the house capable of/responsbile for making decisions regarding health care for our chronically ill kiddos. I wish i could say that my marriage fared better, but it didn't. I also understand that is pretty common when you have a kid with disability, for one parent to "go missing" from the entire process. I've come to understand now that it was my ex's way of grieving. If he wasn't there and was too "busy" to have to go to every hospitalization/dr appt, then he didn't have to take the time to feel the fear or the anger or the sadness that i felt. The kids were (and still are) my #1 priority, but he had other priorities. It was just how he dealt with the situation. Anyway, that is our story. I know it doesn't change your situation, but i do want you to know that i hear you and i know the pain and frustration you are feeling. And don'te ever apologize for venting. That's why we're here. Keep your chin up. ruth mito mom to Mitch (almost 10) and Lexi (almost 7), both mito affected and my treasures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
