Silly but that’s just how I feel

Well here we are again and all for a tv remote

Now it’s my turn to feel a bit off so I took myself of to bed early

Thought I might get some sleep before he came to bed

I had thought beforehand I might watch tv because like most of us we like different styles of programs but decided against it and put th tv controller under my pillow instead of on his dresser or on the bed where he could see it

He came in about an hour later and decided he wanted to watch tv woke me up thumping round the room looking for that controller

Remembering we have a tv in almost every room

I. Have now moved into another room for some quiet and he is quite pleased with himself for getting his own way again

He’s spoiling for an argument and I’m doing my best not to oblige but I’m tired really tired in my mind and body

Sorry for the poor me rant with everything else that’s going on in the world

Thanks I’m just being daft I feel that I do for everybody and there’s no thought about how I feel Just once in awhile for him to say Good-morning and how are you feeling , ok I hope but I know that’s not going to happen any time soon

This liver problem he has seems to give him the feeling that he is the boss and we all have to do and agreewith him

Anyway how are you ?

Are you managing with food and the likes

Have you good people around you

Self isolating at a safe distance it's the way to go. 🙄

How do I do that even in this house lol

Plenty of rooms but because we don’t share anywhere but the bedroom that’s a problem

Ops I was generalising. Atmosphere in tents 24/7 never mind underlying conditions. Ready for the hills if your lucky to have one nearby. 👍

Hi Betsie

Did he ever get tested for HE. I think as several others said in your response to your last post these are pretty classic HE symptoms - well they are what I was like for sure.

Hard to do anything but tolerate him as much as you can.....heck I know what I put my wife through - well I have been told enough times 😀 since I’ve been made better!

Hope you get some sleep, you will and/or do need it for sure.

Good luck

I remember your advice from the last time ty

Problem now is he thinks he’s fine except for a waterworks problem he’s picked up

Managed to get him to call the doctor that’s after weeks of using over the counter meds

Yes it was a over the phone consultation and she gave him antibiotics for that and sagested he finish the coarse and give it a few weeks before calling the surgery back

But Betsie everyone in that state thinks they are fine and yet everyone around them can see the state the ill person is in. I denied everything!

Antibiotics isn’t going to solve that unfortunately, as I know you know already.

I know this will sound a bit off but I really don’t meet it to be

How exactly did your family get you to accept that you had a problem?

Well tbh they never really mentioned it to my face and by the time I got HE proper I had given up alcohol so all they did - all!! - was make sure I behaved myself and got me to the doctors or a Hospital when I was having a bad episode. By then though I think I had admitted defeat 😀. My memory is all very very vague for a lot of those three years though....

Betsie - What you’ve described sounds stressful and demoralizing. Don’t apologize - you need to vent. Everyone wants to be loved and appreciated... and all you are asking for is “Good Morning.” I hope someone can help and that there can be some way for you to find peace.

Oh, you poor thing. It does sound horrible. I know we're all getting on each others nerves, despite best efforts. I slept in 1st favourite sons bed last night as he is in Manchester.

I wish you a happier day Betsie. 🥰xx
