Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.
Today my husband said something that really bothered me. I have a 12yr daughter with epilepsy. She has 2-3 seizures a day. She loves to swim. She will start going to the pool tomorrow with her daycare. He does not want her to go swimming (which I do understand) because we will not be there. But he said to me that if she goes swimming and something happens to her that we are done. To me he is saying that I don't love her enough. I have been upset all morning. I am going to say something tonight, but I just can't believe he said that. He tried to be nice to me before he left for work, but I was a little cold to him. Also to make things worse, I hit the gargage door with the back hatch van door yesterday. It messed up the gargage door, and the van door. The gargage door is fixed, but I can not open the back van door. He made me feel like a dummy. It was an accident, but he can't see that.
I feel so lost right now. We have been through so much in our 15 yr marriage and have come through it together. But for some odd reason I feel that we are losing eachother. My daughter's epilepsy has really put a toll on our marriage, so I am not sure how to handle it. I do feel a little better about talking to people, but I don't want to talk to anyone at work or my family.
Thanks for listening.

awww I am so sorry Mindy, I can't imagine how terrible that made you feel! Hugs to you. I would sit him down and talk to him and tell him that it hurt you. Having special needs children can take a toll your relationship. I am thinking about you!
