She's got You Matt,
remember your vows?
In sickness and in health,
you'd do the same for her in the blink of an eye

It happens to all of us @MatthewB

We look after our children when they are young and our children look after us as we get older.

My son takes me to appointments when they are too far away for the bus. He also shops for me when I can’t get out.

I wish it was different but it`s life and I try to accept my reality.

I understand your frustration Matthew but a lot of old or poorly people are on their own with no family or friends to help. I wouldn’t want to be in their position and appreciate the help I get

As Jessbow says "in sickness and in health" is what I promised and I'm a man of my word.
I did it for 'cos she'd be there for me too as the song lyric goes. K

I don’t see it as pride Matt, just a natural human need to look after yourself. But you do need help, and you know you would do the same for your Lisa if she had needed it. That’s love, and that’s what you have for each other. Take care.

No need to be sorry @MatthewB

This forum is here so you can tell it how it is without anyone passing judgement.

It`s always good to say how you feel. It`s much better than bottling it up inside.

I’m sure you will be helping many people who feel like you do but aren’t able to say.

Oh @MatthewB dont be sorry. How you are feeling is very normal for your situation. You have always been the provider and now you have to rely on others. It’s tough. But remember you still have much to give and provide. You taught your boy to skin the coyote the other week didn’t you? Are their other skills you have that he still needs your experience and teaching in? I bet there is.

please tell us and Lisa if you feel real bad tho so we can all help you. You don’t need to feel these things alone.

Please don’t feel sorry Matt.

Feelings aren’t right or wrong, they’re just what you are honestly going through.

We’re glad you’re able to tell us how you feel. Maybe that helps you tell your Lisa, which is a really good thing. Take care.

Never apologies to us, unless you have done something wrong and you haven't, we're different there's plenty of thing I'm no good at, just come on vent on here, always someone to listen read whichever. K
