Ellie Anne have you asked him why he doesn't want to understand Mental Health problems?
Why just accept he wont engage on it? perhaps this very gentle challenge is worth it? His own daughter suffers and does he not love her in his own way?
It OK to be a wimp. I often am and I'm an old hand at it. Except I'd call it vulnerable.
I thought about you tonight Doodle.
I was coming home from the gym - I needed to do physical stuff after so much emotional stuff...and I thought I dont want to go home as it's lonely. then I thought, the only way round this is to think of god being there. For me its not a God as such its the light of the spirit of love. Or the struggle to feel its there.
The Lemon Shark is strong. Dont we all need both the solid lemon shark and the soft cuddly Lemon Shark in our lives? In her simple way, L is a teacher.
I realise your fear of losing DH is the dominating factor, Sweetpeasue. But it's DH's body. Does he know your fears HVDY is being very wise about spending the money and what you might need it for, including another health condition. Or something else that makes a great difference to your lives. Wait until after the initial appointment, then ask about time scale and the realities of "how long" first.
Thank you for explaining, HVDY. It takes determination to get though it to were you are now - going to aqua, strengthening yourself.
I think MrC would benefit greatly, Doodle, I'm at least confident enough to know that. But it's not in my hands On the first night he said our meeting was Karma. Maybe he is afraid in his own newly found vulnerability as a man. But a boy who survived at rough boarding school at 6 is at heart a stoic, noting can unseat that grit to survive.
He has seen my great fragility after I had helped elderly lady and hugged me and said remember your yoga breathing.
But I have learnt much in the journeys between depression and growth out of it. But he too is a survivor. Frustrating We both felt a real pull.
Tonight I mentally planned an addition to the letter to Ex. I said, there were good times, this is what they were. I have a box of "Ex stuff" which I got out and there it all is - the good times, the difficult times, the balance of strengths between us too, and I am going to send him copies.
I'm not having this cr** about "I showed your letter to two women and they said you were coercively abusive. See how I feel when I awake.
There was a hazy moon in the sky as I drove home (in the dark!) It made me think of how the full light is always obscured, and how we search being the veil for our truths.
