Last night I told my hubby to leave and he's at his mum's. I've suffered depression and yrs ago he had a brain tumour removed and affects his memory so he forgets easily i constantly write notes for.him. The other day he did something that could potentially cause us to lose everything our home everything all because he didn't follow the note I gave him. I'm scared it's me being stupid and depression returning. We have two girls and I feel drained looking after him to I work 52 hrs a week hold a family together and do everything. Sorry for moan but I'm so low today xx

Sorry to hear you're having a difficult time. Do you have a close friend or family member to support you and help out with the girls?

Sorry to hear you are struggling with everything. A marriage needs to share burdens, rather than heaping them all on one party (as seems to be the case here). Can you reach out to family/friends for support? Sounds pretty tough to have to support your husband by constantly writing notes for him. Hope it gets better soon :) Xx

Sounds awful. I think caring for someone after a head injury is about as tough as it gets. I wouldn't make any huge decisions now. Can you get some time off work? Not to do lots of stuff but just to rest and have some time to yourself? Do you have any helpful friends or family, a GP that understands?

I can't tell my parents yet my mum cares for dad whose ill. My kids don't know yet either. I keep thinking if I don't think or talk about it it will fix itself :(
Just feeling very selfish right now that I can't cope with him it's not his fault. But thanks for replies x
