[QUOTE="nvts, post: 174760, member: 3814"] Linda! I'm in southern NYC, are you anywhere nearby? I'll come stay for the weekend. I'd be able to get as far as Delaware and up to Connecticut before I run out of gas to get home. If you're not, methinks it's time to call in the cavalry. It's only Tuesday, I remember when you were getting ready to go see family (I think it was last fall) and they were within driving distance. I know it's a personal decision and you may not want to reveal too much to family, but you need to see if anyone will help you out and here's why: With your condition(s), stress is clearly a mitigating factor is how you've been recovering. Aside from the obvious, you've got some serious reasons to be spiraling into a depression that's got to be feeding your other physical issues. SRL has a really good point. husband has been trying so hard to be "Mr. Ideal Guy" which was probably fueled by guilt over past behaviors/issues/problems, that he really has no where to turn. While I think his timing/tactics are outrageous, it's really not a big surprise that he's having a meltdown of his own. While my initial reaction was to offer to go "kick some patootie", I tried to keep in mind that for someone who used to escape by drinking, he's endured far more than most recovering alcoholics are usually presented with. I'll be here in NY waiting for orders OR you need to call someone in the family (it could even be an older neice or nephew that has some free summer time) to come and give you a hand for a few days - hell, even stay for a little while AFTER husband gets back - to lessen the pressure. KT might really enjoy an older cousin who could be a "mentor" over the weekend! Oh, and who the heck cares if there are dust bunnies, dishes in the sink and your hair could use a coloring? They're family for pete's sake! If they love you, who cares what anything looks like, if they don't, who cares what they think! You always have us! Beth [/QUOTE]
