[QUOTE="wen, post: 321144, member: 8477"] You know, I have never asked for help like this before. I am so strong and independent... And, then for the 1st time, I put my pride down and asked for help - help to be better at facing all of this, help to be strong again, help to be the love and glue of our family. I have prayed and prayed for help, and now it seems like God is sending his help through each one of you that have responded to me. I am teary-eyed because I have been alone for so long. I am so grateful for each suggestion, hug, advice, encouraging word, etc. Thank you. Today, I made my hubby get up with her and keep her the entire day. I tried to really stay away with my son and daughter. We aren't talking too much at this point, and in 24 hours, our marriage seems like it has gone in a direction that I never thought possible. Tonight, I will have him read the responses since last night. Please pray that his eyes are opened and he can understand that in order to help Ann, we need to get more help. I gave him an analogy last night... My son has had a couple of issues with writing paragraphs at school. I have shown him how to do this, but he still is a struggling a bit. (He is extremely smart, just having a small issue.) I am having one of my friends that tutor English help him with this. It is not because I don't love him, it's because I want to help him succeed. I compared the analogy to Ann. I said, "It's not that I am giving up or not loving Ann by saying she needs more help - it's that I love her so much to say maybe something else can help." I never want him to make this choice because I "made" him do this. I want him to see that Ann could use the help, and if it even teaches her one thing, then it would be a success. If she can learn how to function without hurting herself or others, it would be a blessing. I am not asking for perfection, just for help. [/QUOTE]
