XP: Might not be around for awhile:(

Erin RN · May 2011

Things aren't going so well around here right now, both financially and personally. I think I have been using the board as a distraction and I need to focus on reality. We got our first (of many I'm sure) medical bill for LO and it is officially wiping us out. I'm trying to find a job, but there isn't much that is day shift. I might have to go back to night shift, but it was awful when I did it last time. My body just can't adjust. On sat H and I hit a rough spot and I really don't know how to come back from it. The short version is that I knew his mom was somehow going to blame me for not spending enough time with LO while she was here. Never ever ever did I expect H to agree:( Then I had to defend myself. Of course he took it back after I pointed out every time she chose not to spend time here and after I asked for examples. I guess I just need to figure out a way to get over it, but right now I can't. It was just so hurtful that now I look at him differently. Plus he wants to act like nothing happened and everything is fine. But anyways, sorry to vent. I guess I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your help and support!!! I hope I will be back soon! If anyone needs to get ahold of me, feel free to email or PM:)

T&P are still going out for your LO. Take are of your LO and yourself mama!

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all of this Agree with pp, you're so sweet and don't deserve any of it

Let me know if you need anything at all, or just need to vent.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. DH and I hit a similar patch at 6 months with DS and his special needs (emotional and financial toll). We sought counseling. It helped so much. It wasn't so much therapy it was just a neutral place that we could bring up all our arguments, fears, and thoughts and it was someone to help organize what we were each trying to say to each other to make it effective.

It helped a lot.

Sorry you're going through this mama! I hope everything gets better soon and we're always here to listen.

SOrry to hear that things are difficult right now. Take care of yourself!

I don't know the whole backstory, but it sounds like you're going through some really rough, stressful stuff right now without a lot of support. I'm sorry, that really sucks. Just remember that you can always come back here for a bit if you need to vent, and take care of yourself. Also, ditto PP that counseling could be very beneficial for you and YH, both for dealing with communication and as a relief valve for whatever stressors you're both dealing with right now. Check your health insurance - some of them cover a certain number of visits.

Keep your chin up momma. T&P your way.

Aw, so sorry to hear about all of the stress going on. :-(

It sounds like a little distraction isn't a bad thing, though, so I hope you continue to pop in once in a while and look here for support when you need it!

We'll miss you surely, come back whenever you can. Also, I hope things get better soon.

My husband and I have been to he!! and back. Three plus years of chronic illness. Four plus years of infertility. Four plus years of living on my income. Almost got divorced at one point a few years ago. We have agreed on very little about how best to handle the munchkin. And then, of course, my DH lost his job last week. I have spent many hours crying, soul searching and, have even been known to find solace at the bottom of a wine bottle on occasion. I have a blog I started in 2005 that chronicles most of this madness. I used to have a link in my siggy but got tired of the random mean anonymous comments so I removed it. If you're interested in reading I'm happy to send you a link. Sometimes just knowing that you aren't the only one going through hardship can make the hardship more bearable.
