Aftermath

Hi Karen

I think all ladies with BC have been where you are.  Men are certainly made differently to us - women who are more natural carers, we tend to think more about others, we get on with the job and we definitely have more common sense.

Yep, teenagers are selfish critters - and your son is just a clone of what your husband demonstrates to him.

As RobynW said, YOU matter.  If your counsellor did not seem to help, please go to another who may just hit the right spot for you.  Don't forget, they can read their books but they still have not walked in your shoes.

Me - I have written a letter to my hubby.  Not that he has received it but, like venting on this website, it has helped me to gather my thoughts and work through a few strategies for me.

Like most of us gals, I am the strong one and he has fallen apart 12 months down the track - 'cause he does not like the look of the 'new' me.  Get over it or get moving, I say !

Anyway, take some time for yourself but please don't bottle your feelings for too long - get them out in the open.

Hope this helps - big hugs

Summer  :-)
