Hi jujuB, I have started speaking to one of the db counselors and she has been very good. She's recommended cultivating the friendship which is what I've been doing this week, and it has had positive effects.
I understand as is having difficulties coping with everything and I've tried to help her get help from different people. I've struggled to help her through it cause sometimes I don't know what to do. I try to be loving, caring and compassionate, but sometimes I fail.
I've even called her family and said that she needs some extra help and I'm struggling to help her, but they'll only call once and then nothing after that. I don't think they even know about the post traumatic stress that she's recently been diagnosed with.
She doesn't get on with my family, so I can't get their help.
She can hide things very well, so alot of her friends have no idea. I've called a few of them and asked them to take her out for dinner and a movie on a few occasions because she's had a rough day with the kids.
We haven't been out together (just her and I) for a long time cause she won't leave the kids with my family, and she doesn't have much family here in Sydney. Ive arranged for baby sitters a few times, but it gets expensive.
