I have been married to a type 1 diabetic, who is non-compliant with treatment for the past 27 years. His body is wearing out after neglect the diabetes and he is on dialysis again after enjoying a transplanted kidney for 13 years. He is verbally abusive toward me now as he always has been. I have always taken it and excused him by saying his blood sugars were too low or too high.
He has recently come through some even more serious health problems as he had a heart attack, pneumonia and nephrotic syndrome prior to beginning emergency dialysis. Because of all of the stress associated with recent events, I am becoming more resentful, especially when he accuses me of trying to steal "his" money. I understand what one of the women said before when it was mentioned that her husband stewed about finances. Mine told me today in so many words that he has little respect for me because I have a balance on my credit card (less than $10,00). He says that he appreciates all I have done for him, but I don't believe that. I think he thinks that this is what he is supposed to say because he has never backed it up with any sincerity or emotion. He refuses to obtain any kind of mental health treatment, even though is becoming increasingly more depressed. Sometimes he says I haven't done ANYTHING for him. I'm trying to exercise and see my friends for an outlet, but that angers him as he says I only want to "party" with my friends. I am becoming more depressed even though I have been taking anti-depressants for years (partly because of our relationship). I have been on leave of absence from work and I am getting ready to head back to an extremely stressful job. I fear what will happen to us.
