Hi,
I had a thread a while back under a different name and had some fantastic advice about how to handle the situation I find myself in.
I put that advice into action and explained to my husband how I felt his behaviour was impacting on me and the children. He tried to change.
However I feel like we have reached a point where I have to make a decision. He cannot change some of his behaviour, he can't change what the illness has done to him. Our relationship has fundamentally been changed. We had a really difficult and frank discussion a couple of weeks ago and we both agreed relationship counselling will help us work through what happens next.
But before we have Christmas and a birthday. He is talking about future plans to the house and seems perfectly happy. I on the other hand am watching all of this wondering if this is our last Christmas together like this feeling desperately sad. I think I know what the outcome of the counselling is likely to be.
I feel so sad, any advice?
