Sad

My husband has literally been driving me insane this past week and altogether from day one of my life with him it has been building up and I may not be responsible for my actions one of these days.

One example of just tonight is this:

He for about the 4th time this week changed his plan about paying for the house to be cleaned even though it's doctor's orders. It's like he's trying my nerves to see how far he can go before he won't have to pay for anything that will help me. All I said though was okay because I am tired of the fighting. Then later tonight he takes a stainless steel spoon and starts swatting my behind with it. I told him to quit at least 4 times because he was hurting me. He would not quit though until I slung water from the running water at the sink in his face and yelled at him. He got very mad and told me I was crazy and and when I argued with him he said I needed my medicine adjusted.

Give me strenght Lord for if this continues I will really get scared.

Blessings,

Sometimes their sense of humor does not match the moment Barb! It happens here all the time....I have been crazy for years the only problem is the one who gave me the diagnosis " ain't right" as they say. Laughing Laughing hopefully, things will be better for you soon.........one day at a time ...

I know how those moments can escalate, Barb, and they can be scary. Someone here once, long ago, started a thread about how when you quit, things seem "bigger", or out of proportion. Every emotion becomes heightened, and life itself seems larger than life. Quitting makes us feel like we're on a rollar coaster.

All i can say is to try to keep your perspective, and realize that what might seem funny to your husband, may be more annoying to you because your emotions are in an uproar.

Meantime, tell him to keep his spoons to himself. Wear a sign that says "Hands off...Dangerous quitter". Maybe he'll figure out that its the wrong time to be messing with you right now.
