I'm sorry to hear that you are having to go thorugh something like this, I too am dealing with a situation similar it is our son who is bipolar w/impulse control disorder. even with meds, our desire for a "normal " day ( no arguing, no fights, suicide attempts, law being called, hospital stays, dirty looks etc,etc,etc) looks real dim, (maybe in the future) the ones that do come along we cherish.
[QUOTE]I am just so upset and have been crying I just am at the end of my ropes with my family I am almost about to say no family talk to me and I will be just with my husband and kids. I don't know what do you ladies think?
My husband and I vowed to each other that if one of us needed to retreat to heal that we would cut ourselves off from whatever was causing the pain in the first place ...be it family, friends, co workers, whatever.
And once we had our feet back unders us to "withstand the friction from our families that we would allow them back in, BUT ONLY ON OUR TERMS, " if they tried to start anything they were asked to leave.
We are firm believers that you must heal yourself, first. it sounds as if you have a supporting husband, let him stand in front of you for a while until you get back on your feet. then, when you feel that you are ready, deal with family issues (they just might work themselves out).
Sorry, for rambling, but if you can understand my post perhaps it may help you.
God Bless you, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
