[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2676554, member: 493719"] I make [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] right. I had major accident 2 years back, had a bit of a pity party post on a regular thread i post to [USER=418659]@alf_Josiah[/USER], took time to post his thoughts, and was rather blunt, but omg he was so right. I was just so blind to the fact it was just me, when both of us had suffered a nasty shock. He pointed out, as I suspect your husband has, i had fantastic support from the NHS to friends & family. He told me how great that was, and how lucky I was to get it. Then asked me, guess who suffered almost as much, but everyone forgot about ? ....exactly ..D'oh. Yep, those who love us & are there every step of the way as we try and recover. But many can't talk to their partner because they fear (rightly or wrongly) impacting their mental health and/or recovery. But those are the very people screaming out to be helped, by simply being able to unload somewhere, and voice their own concerns & worries. In a relationship, we're a team, and each brings something to the table. And when trouble hits ...BOTH need supporting. And it's SO cost effective. No one will give the 24/7 care & attention a loved one does. And if they become incapable for whatever reason, that costs..a LOT £££££ So, as Lamont says, seek that ear to talk to, that 'someone' telling YOU, "its going to be ok" "you're doing great " or simply giving YOU some tools to help cope. Best wishes you find the help YOU need & life gets easier for you both . [/QUOTE]
