    • About Me

      I am a wife, married 24 years. I am an artist, and the working mother of one son, who has Crohn's disease. He was diagnosed at age 14 and is 18 now. I love him more than anything. The struggle to keep our health insurance and find proper medical care has been a struggle. I have been through four downsizings, while my husband went through two. We have major financial problems and no family support... I feel like I lost a wonderful life and don't know what happened.

      From debbieanngallegos November 10

      you are definitely not alone and considering what you have had to put up with, I can totally understand your anger. I too have had anger outbursts due to my husband's nonchalant attitude about everything. he recently invited his clients (he's a mortgage banker) a husband, wife and their new baby stay with us (along with our 3 children and 2 cats) for what he said would be 2 weeks until the closing of their loan and after the first day, along came her 17 year old sister to sleep over for the two weeks(who I didn't agree on having over at all),,,then she invites one of her friends for a sleepover and I lost it...I had to speak up and ask why no one cared to ask me my opinion about this, which my husband does all the time, I said that we were not able to accomodate the "friend" and she needed to have a sleepover somewhere else....the next day they all moved out....My husband said I'm mean spirited and a B______. They were going to pay us for their stay but they took the money and ran....My anger outbursts have offended some but there are times I feel justified. I'm tired of my husband only seeing the bad in me and not the good. He focuses on the negative things and wants me to be who I was 11 years ago when we got married. I am a changed woman since marriage and kids...(aged 4,8,10). I am on Lexapro and counseling for my anger outbursts -when you feel your blood boiling), cussing, yelling, screaming....The only ones I lash out at are my kids and husband...I hate who I am sometimes. I've struggled primarily with anger management for 10 years. But I also have had bouts with depression, anxiety, stress, asthma and sadness over my mother's sudden and unexpected death.
      I pray each day that I will not be affected so much...I wish I was a stone sometimes so I couldn't feel anything ever...just like my husband.
      Anyway....take care sweetie and know we all have our issues but each day be stronger for having survived it. Be kind to yourself and know you have friends who care. debbie ann
