Hi all
I am male 42 diagnosed with motor neurone disease 2 years ago my marriage lasted a few months after diagnosed.we have two kids 11 and 9 so I am still living at the family home so I can see them every day ‘at first this worked ok but more and more I am feeling like I am doing everything ‘my wife (separated) sleeps at her mums every 2 weeks to catch up on sleep as she says she’s knackerd but the last 2 months it’s become weekly ‘Tuesday I phoned her at work but was told she’s on holiday today bearing in mind I have them all summer on my own and also found out she’s not been resting but going out ‘I do every school run and have them every school holiday apart from Xmas as her work shuts down for holiday ‘I make every meal and do the house work I just feel like it’s not fair ‘I saw my specialist last week with my ex and she said he’s doing to much and needs to rest more an hour later she’s asking to sleep at her mums I could never dream of doing that to anyone let alone someone i was with for 20 years

She needs to step up in a massive way

She is not "at her mum's"

Hi Mikey, I don't know if this helps but I have M.S. and I have been teaching my children to do stuff for themselves from an early age. My kids know how to do pretty much all household chores, cook and manage themselves. At that age, your kids could be doing stuff already to help with the load
