Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

[Former-Member]

 Hi @PeppiPatty, @Shaz51, @Former-Member, @Determined,  and everyone.  Nice to see you pop up in notifications ❤

PEPPIPATTY,  glad youre being so open today,  and i wish more ppl would nutshell their story now and then as well as you just did.  My heart goes out to you though,  go e through so much yet still pressing forward.  Its an honour to know youre here,  encouraging each other.  And youre such a wonde ful carer of your family,  in spite of your own challenges ❤  Sociology One was a great subject in my first year Social Work Studies (dropped out when left my-husband). i distinctly remember the realisation of all the things i wanted gov to know to help improve communities, well... ... yep... ... they already know it all.  I felt so disillusioned that they actually known for years and can't 'fix'it. It was like someone stole my thunder / lost my voice...  How immature / green was i? So keep studying if you can - theres so much to learn out there. I made it to church today too for a change (Rev 14😱}. Just got back & found you guys

But wont hang around long as gotta go serve lunch soon ☺

Me too @outlander xxxx

how are you today xx

[Adge]

Hi @outlander

Hi @Shaz51 Yes I hope she doesn't need surgery.

I've had 3 major bowel surgeries (2 were emergencies), so I wouldn't wish them on anyone.

Although I would have died without them.
