You shouldn't beat yourself up it's hard to keep everything bottled up for long little slips happen I hope your feeling ok

[Tgirl79 in reply to richey]

hi, thanks, think cus I've been the strong one for everyone else, I've forgot about my own feelings, feel better now thou

shouldnt bottle things up makes us more and more angry.

since my stroke i have no control over my emotions and cry for no apparent reason at the same time i can laugh uncontrollably at inappropriate times.

dont feel ashamed of your emotions.

Being IN control for prolonged periods can be bad for your health m'love ! So revel a little bit in letting go (as much as 4 children and a husband with Bi will allow). It's hard in the early months for most carers/partners but don't be afraid to let your own vulnerabilities show sometimes ; the family need to see that mums, however stoical, have feelings too.

Have you spoken to the helpline yet Tia ? xx

Thanks, feel better for it now, no I haven't phoned the helpline, don't wanna admit I struggle at times, but my hubby an kids need me to be the backbone x
