It isn't east sharing a life with a disabled spouse. Key word...SHARING. Often times the spouse of a disabled person works over time caring for their loved one, paying bills, taking care of the house and children, and not spending much time taking care of themselves. Though they don't experience the disability first hand, they do live with it every day. It is a tough, and lonely place to be a caregiver, and yet we can't complain or lean on our better half when times are tough because they need us to be strong for them. Sweetheart, don't listen to any harsh comments from people about how you are feeling. It isn't your husband you want to leave, it is his disability...the invisible force that has taken over your lives. I am sure he wishes he could get away from it as well. Give yourself some time to care for yourself, you deserve it! And don't let guilt creep in when you feel overwhelmed, it is hard enough with everything you are going through together with your husband. Keep your chin up!!!
