one of the most lonely days in my life....

[israel]

...to cut a long story short I emigrated to australia...7 months ago....the country is lovely...but my relationship with my husband has gone from bad to worse....and Im feeling so alone and isolated.....
after trying for yrs to make it work...i realy thought a new begining and something we could work at together would help us.....but no.
....and to make things worse...his mother...who is awful...has booked a one way flight to follow us...I dont want her coming to us...but he has said yes....last night was the end....he said he would put her first....and it wasnt a contest....I have been sat in the park watching my son play and tears have just rolled down my face.....I want to get my self respect back and dont want to try any more...help

Israel, that's a relief, one step at a time though, thinking of you all

Look I really don't want to hassle you and I know you don't "know" me but our ds s are the same age so if you ever want to get together and just sit quietly while I watch the boys play at Kings Park or something let me know

oh israel sorry you are going through this. Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and your family.

israel, how are you and your family bearing up?

hope things are much calmer now and that you and dh have had a chance to see each other and talk to one another

does your ds know anything?

take each day at a time and look after yourself

I thought about you and your DH and family today israel, I hope things are getting better.

Its been a week now...My dh came home last week....the hospital have said that physically they think he will recover...mentally He / we are going for counceling....the first session was interesting in that i thought the 'shrink'...hit the nail on the head right away....asking dh...how long have you been depressed...years?...and how many years have you not liked yourself....and when dh...talked about his mother....the doc...said in short she was blackmailing everyone......but my dh...doesnt see this...all he thinks is its me...I have made him choose.....
My head this week is so confused...I am elated he was saved and lived....but i have very mixed emotions...anger...fear..
The children too...seem to be coping...but i know we have all suffered with this incident...and are suffering....we are just taking a day at a time.....but i am not finding it easy...i feel under a lot of strain.
thank you for your concerns and enquiries as to how we are.....its just awful really.

Israel, you are a very strong and capable lady, your DH is extremely lucky to have such a wondeful wife to help him through this, as are your children, I really hope you can all be happy xxx

Oh Israel - How awful for you all! Thank goodness he is safe physically.... I really hope he can deal with the demons now, for you and your childrens sake.
