[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 125566, member: 179"] First of all, hugs. I'm sure you're quite frustrated. I have somewhat of an insight to your husband's reaction. Years ago (actually it is when I started the current board) I was very ill. Day by day I went downhill...then with some new medications slowly came out of it. I could not work for over a year. husband was very supportive during this time. What I didn't know what that he was stuffing a lot of emotions. He had a big burden at that time with bills, J being in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), me being sick, etc. Fast forward 18 months and I finally felt I could actually do something around the house. It was right before Christmas so I had this grand idea to put up lights. Long story short, I fell off the ladder and shattered my left foot. I was actually able (not sure how) to put the ladder back and sat on the couch. When husband got home he looked at me and asked what was wrong. I said that I wasn't sure, but I think I hurt my foot. [B]THAT[/B] was the straw that broke the camel's back. He lost it big time. He carried me to the car, drove me to the hospital and literally dropped me off at the curb. He said 'someone' would find me. I was devastated. The poor woman checking me in didn't know the history. She just kept saying...hon, it's probably just broken. Meanwhile I'm sobbing uncontrollably. So, ending to this very long story is I realize husband was under so much stress and pressure during those days. He didn't mean to be insensitive, but it's always easiest to strike at those closest to you. I hope your husband is able to help you with what you need. Most importantly, I hope [U][B]YOU[/B][/U] get the help you need. Abbey [/QUOTE]
