I've read all the above posts and feel like this is where I need to be right now. I hope I can join in on the discussion. My situation has been going on for about 5 years now and I'm in my 14th year of living with my husband, who has uncontrolled diabetes and who will not help himself. His diabetic problems have become both physical and mental for him. He will not let me help him, by seeing more Drs. or mental specialists- Now I'm having the biggest decision to make- and his family have their heads in the sand (or other places) and I'm done living on my own 'hell island'. I'm going to Mental Health again, because of him. I am overly exhausted with the mental strain. He is just existing, not working, watches t.v. and naps all day. I'm a caregiver in my career and turn down work just from the negative life I have here and being mentally fatigued from 5 years of trying to help him. I'd say more but don't want to drone on.....I appreciate anyone who understands where I am.
