[QUOTE="Malika, post: 607323, member: 11227"] Hello. Reading your post was like visualising a cartoon strip :) Sorry, to sound facetious but really you paint a very vivid picture! I can empathise with how stressful all this is. At the same time, reconnecting to a sense of humour, despite all the odds, can greatly help defuse a burgeoning nervous breakdown... if it can at all be managed. Anyway, you clearly have retained something of YOUR humour so I would encourage you to let go and to chill as much as is humanly possible in an impossible situation. Read, or reread, The Explosive Child, my current bible. Put as much as possible into the file marked "Doesn't really matter". You are in a situation of crisis, you need to reorder priorities. Number one priority: keeping your sanity! Which means ensuring that you are living the lives you need to lead, not the ones you are "supposed" to lead. Try not to take things to a painful point - head things off at the pass as much as you can. At least you have a great husband on board. Deep breath... then another... and another... [/QUOTE]
