My husband is good for the most part but every now and then he'll say something like "I should have known better than to plan something" and I want to hit him. I know he's frustrated but that doesn't make it hurt any less. I think it's hard for others to fully understand what we go through, not necessarily the physical but that internal dialogue where we judge ourselves, hate that we can't do what we want and fear others will just give up on us. I don't know if I have any answers for you other than to be honest and up front which you have been with your email. I know I have always tried to put up the tough front and that just doesn't work now with my current state. Hiding how bad I feel and how much I'm struggling makes others think I am much better than I am and I think it makes it more confusing for them when I then turn around and say I can't do stuff. I'm still working on that one though LOL. Hang in there I hope he 'gets it' for you.<br /><br />Michelle :)Michelle Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472120868084570461noreply@blogger.com
