[QUOTE="HpprKM, post: 632207, member: 14660"] Actually made great strides today. Saw Dr - she is such a nice person and knows my husband. I told her everything and she very empathetic. Her mother has PK. Agreed that hibbie and his daughters all have acceptance issues. I have booked for councelling as had so much going on with support for my son who lives abroad and is bipolar and had a crisis. Very stressful! We agreed that, although I got through that with more strength than I knew I had, much of howvi feel now is fall out. Also, she pointed out that I need a break as in non position to make big decision. This afternoon I had serious talk with hubbie. I talked of every concern I have, that I am happy to go on with him, but trying to make our two families one is not working and I feel better if we stop doing that. I explained all concerns regarding his health and mine long term. That I feel we should consider moving to flat or bungalow while we are still young enough to cope with move. I am hoping to get a few days away visiting family next momth. Hubbie said we could go away for break on our anniversary also next month.
