I so sorry your sad and crying It hard to comfort someone on a post Remember your only human You do need space not only for yourself but for him too If you take a time out it will be better for both of you Your post really touch my heart because you sound so sad Is there someone In your life you could reach out to because you need comforting too I pray a lot I will pray that God comforts you You should reach out to a friend or family member I'm really hoping you feel a little better in the morning Sometimes it's darkest right before the light

Hidden your key word in your thinking there is "nightmare". Remember nightmares go along with sleeping which only last a portion of the day then we wake up and reality dawns and we remember men are from mars and will never speak the soul language of women from Venus. Throw in MS and you may as well be trying to scream from a 4 square glass prison. But that's the nightmare. And one day you wake up and hear the birds singing and see the flowers trying to sprout up their green shoots in the bitter cold and you realize life is tough for everyone, some worse than others, and we are thankful are fingers still obey our brains so we can type our frustrations, we remember our first love and try to reconnect, breathe deep, and face another day, by Gods grace, knowing there are over 400,000 people feeling as frustrated as you half the time!!!

I like that phrase you used about "flowers trying to sprout up their green shoots in the bitter cold."

Been there with my mother. She has Alzheimer's and it's very frustrating for me as a caregiver because I internalize everything. Since I've been on this site, and have read the book the 36-hour day, I'm learning to not take thing so personal and to remember that when she fights with me, she isn't my mother but the person with Alzheimer's. I hope this helps.
