Well gav didn't get the job and everything is getting on top of us now. We are facing his redundancy at the end of the month with fear. We are afraid we might lose the house we bought only a year ago if he doesn't find work soon. We are facing putting Jean in a home with more fear. She is not coping with day care - gets aggressive and tries to 'escape' through the fire doors and attacks the staff. So heaven help us when we do have to put her in a home!!
It is our second wedding anniversary on friday and we are supposed to be blissfully happily married and I have never felt lower than I do now. That really is saying something since in the 8 years we have been together we have been through more than most do in a lifetime......and it just keeps coming.
Does anyone else wish life would just stop kicking??
Anyway I have tried my best to ensure that Jean is taken care of this weekend but we just need to get away. We need time to think, plan and regroup before we come back fighting. Is that selfish?? My mum gave me a lecture about going away and spending money when gav has just lost his job but she doesn't understand that if he doesn't get a break soon (and me for that matter) we will explode. There is only so much a person can take before it is time to step back and try to regain some perspective.
Sorry this has been more about me than Jean but she is a major factor in our needing to think.
Sorry if I am being selfish but I just needed someone to support my decision and maybe ease the guilt monster we all feel so deeply sometimes.
Thanks
