The weeks of confinement are going fairly well. Taking Nick on all his walks has gotten me fitter but I am tired. I have little energy for anything else. I just walk Nick and do the cooking Luckily, no one is coming to the house so it does not matter if it is clean. We have been isolating since March 4th.
I use so much energy to walk with him, 2 to 5 hours most days also takes away some of my anger. But I am still irritable with him at times, which makes me sad and full of guilt.
But overall I am still not very kind.
I hardly recognize this person, as the man I married. I am deeply angry with him that he chose to bury his head in the sand about the consequences of his inability to look at the disease and what would ultimately happen to him. And that I and the children would be responsible for his every need and action. He will no longer even go outside without me, to sit in a lounge chair in the sun, or at the table after his lunch. It is like open spaces are somehow threatening.
His is not having a life he would have wanted .....but what can you do . Inaction and fear brought him here .....but it is I who must dance to the tune of his inability to face what was his future. And I am angry.
