[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 72649, member: 1991"] You were talking about putting kt into respite - would that buy you some time? Also, as she gets older and less needy, plus as you either recover, or adapt (or both) your needs will decrease, as will hers - maybe you could muddle through, with time and more support in between. You have every reason to need respite for kt. Another thought - what would happen if YOU went into hospital, or respite? How would things run at home? Who would step up to the plate? Would things run smoothly, or would there be utter chaos, or would there be a period of chaos until things finally got stabilised? It is something to consider. On thing that really worries me, always - is this feeling of always needing to be available, to be on deck and making sure things run smoothly at home. I hate feeling indispensible, I'd prefer to know that my family could keep things working even if they had to manage without me being physically there. You are very right in that this has been a bad year. But it's only this year - who knows what next year will bring? It's highly likely that next year will bring some level of recovery for you. Things should begin to look up. In the meantime, you need time and stability, to speed up the process (or at least, not hinder it). You've raised the subject with husband - I think that was very necessary. Now let him think about it. See what he comes up with. he might surprise you. I hope so. Marg [/QUOTE]
