No change with my dad. Feeling emotionally drained and am so tired. I also u/s my H is looking hard for mountain jobs/apartments. He seems very set on moving away which means filing for the D is forthcoming. Logically I get that I'm only backsliding b/c of everything going on right now, but this is emotionally VERY difficult.
Hey, wait mnt_dreams...IF he moves away...that does not automatically mean that filing for the divorce is forthcoming! It's best for us to deal with things that ARE...as opposed to dealing with things that AREN'T! I hope your dad gets better. Total hips are rough on old people. And general anesthesia has its own risks. Post-op complications are not uncommon with total hips and the elderly. Get plenty of sleep...I know it's easier said than done...but it is important for you. And stay active...it'll make you feel better and sleep better. Remember...exercise the control that you do have, and that is over your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. We shouldn't waste our time/energy trying to control something that we have no control over, and that is our spouse's thoughts, feelings, and actions. Backsliding is not uncommon, and it's not the end of the world if you do...just resolve to not do it anymore...you'll be better off, and it'll allow you to become stronger. I hope you have a better day tomorrow.
