[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 491045, member: 1233"] Sweetie, please please PLEASE take that time for yourself. Ignore Christmas and those expectations and get that time alone even if you must return ALL the gifts to pay for a hotel for yourself for a few days. I know it may feel selfish, but not taking that time is the selfish thing. I NEVER took time for myself, handled ALL the crisis with Wiz, with Jess, with thank you, even with husband and after several major crisis that ate about three-four years my body just refused to do anymore anything. It has take four YEARS to get to where I can go do something for an hour or two without having a solid week of off the charts pain that the HUGE amt of pain medications (more than you could imagine and more than many addicts get to treat their addiction) barely touches. For two YEARS I couldn't even sit and eat dinner with the family because my body hurt so badly. I still can't do very much at all and it is NOT the way you want to live. It adds a HUGE burden to my husband esp. He now copes with stuff he thought he couldn't. I never made him and just did it all. You can't do it all. It will destroy your body. My mother thinks it is all anxiety and depression keeping me from coping and those do play a role, but mostly the docs say it was the overload of stress for all those years that literally broke my body. Now I am getting shorter at an astounding rate due to all my bones demineralizing, my teeth can't be filled or even cleaned by the doctor because they are doing what my bones are doing - crumbling. I have to be VERY VERY careful because they are not sure my bones will heal if they break, and if they do heal it will take a LONG time and be super painful. DO NOT DO THIS TO YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take the time, the kids will survive and so will husband. Go somewhere, get AWAY and do what you have to. Better to take a few days or a week than to have your body literally remove you from your family and the world for a much much longer period of time. Go and get a motel room, let husband handle thigns however he wants to for a while. This isn't selfish, it is NECESSARY for the health and welfare fo your family. [/QUOTE]
