Our families

[dart frog]

The week after my surgery was REALLY hard on my family. I felt that hubby and kids had bailed on me and didnt care one way or another how I felt or was doing. I blasted hubby up one side and down the other on this board and he knew it!! I had him read all the replies and he knew that he was lucky you all didnt have our address to come here and kick his butt!

This past week and this weekend he has been amazing!!! He comes home from working all day and jumps at the chance to help out. This weekend he has worked himself into exhaustion working around the house. He's done all the laundry, cleaned the basement ( huge task!!) organized all the toys, and cleaned, cleaned and cleaned some more.
He understands how hurt I was by his behavior and I think he was SO dissappointed with himself that he's doing everything he can think of to make up for it.

I just wanted you all to know that know matter how upset and how much I blast him on the board that he really is deep down a good guy and I love him more then anything.

Sometimes I think we forget how hard OUR health problems trickle down and affect our families. When we are too sick or in too much pain to think straight it hurts them too. Maybe, just maybe we forget to give them credit for just being there and loving us no matter how screwed up we are. :-)

so....I just wanted to publicly thank my hubby and kids for loving me no matter what and Im sorry that this has been such a hard time for all of us.

I have said the same thing- it doesn;t just affect you, it affects your whole family.  My husband has been great but I think at some point they just get over it.  I'm glad yours has seen the error in his ways.

I am so glad to know that things are really improving for you.  Sounds like he really loves you a lot.  Cherish this new relationship this has garnered.

So happy that things are looking up!!  We really DO take things out on the people closest to us.  Your husband sounds like a sweetheart, and you're both really lucky to have each other.  I think I said this in another post, but it takes some bad times to really appreciate the good.  I hope health-wise things continue to improve as well.

I think it's human nature to take out our frustrations on the people who we love the most and are most comfortable with.  It's kinda perverse, but that's the way it is.  It really sounds like you have turned a corner, both physically and emotionally.  I hope it is smooth sailing for you from now on.

Your husband should be proud to have you has a wife...and your family should be thankful for all you do for them, and you should be glad that you have a family in times like this no matter how hard it gets....I'm really happy for you....Sometimes it is harder being the caregiver..I had to realize that myself a time or two.
