Hi
I know that lots of us have no support from families etc. Sorry this post isn’t meant to offend you. I’m lucky to have a husband who does a lot for me. But I’m beginning to feel overwhelmed and losing myself by his actions. He tells me I can’t go places, to calm down when I’m speaking with other people especially my children, to go have lie downs. But especially when we go anywhere the first thing he tells people that I take seizures. I was just recently booking into a hotel and he and the receptionist where talking about what to do with me as if I wasn’t there. I’m Me first and foremost. I’m just unlucky to have FND. I pay for a private therapist and she has told him on several occasions that he needs to stop “smothering me”. This morning (we are still on holiday) I made myself some tea and then fell asleep and spilled it all over the bed (probably tired from collapsing outside the cinema last night - another he doesn’t let me go to). Anyhow his words this morning to my accident where “you’re fucking useless- if it isn’t tea it’s piss”. Yep I have Irritable Bladder System plus voiding problems. Hit the jackpot there. He knows how embarrassed I am when I wet myself -it happens in public too. And I go to bed in big incontinence knickers made for someone twice my age. Sorry probably TMI. So what do I do - stay with him or separate- I’m at my wits end with FND, doctors etc. I just can’t take anymore? Help please. Thanks Lou
