Lwb,

Hope you and your little ones are feeling better. I am sure it is very difficult to handle all of this, let alone having to take care of your children while you too are sick. I would have to agree with some of the posts. Get your H to take the kids of 1/2 day on the week-end so you can take a nap. If you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of the little ones.

As for the finances. Does he put his paycheck into your joint account? I would not separate finances or anything else yet. It is too early for that. I agree with nephartiti and think that it does push them away.

I know you don't want to hear this, but it will take time to get to where you want to be. Yes, it takes longer then we want. Limboland is not a nice place to visit, but it seems that we all go there.

Right now concentrate on getting well and give him some of the responsibility of the children. They are his children too.

Get well and take care of you. Broncitis can be a real bitch and keep you down for a long time if you don't take care of it.

Faith
