with your loved ones. If they are near you, now, give them a hug and tell them you love them. Do not take your time together for granted. I am painfully reminded of this right now. The Mrs. has been having flashbacks of the kind of abuse you'd like to think only happens in books. She sliced herself up and is in the hospital. When I wake up tomorrow morning I will be greeted be two cats and not the face of the woman I love. Do not worry if you have the money to go on vacation or get somebody the perfect Christmas present. None of that matters. Right now I'd give up all my presents to be able to fall asleep next to her. Please forgive my ramblings. I just got off the phone with her, the office is empty and I have no one to talk to. Sorry.

Frank, so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and yours.
there is just so much sadness in society today it makes me weep and wish it wasn't so. Smoke going up on the Northern winds from Oz. Take care friend.
 
Frank, ramble all you want. We are here for you and your wife. God Bless.
 
Frank - what would the forum be without the people in it ! We listen to one another, help if we can ...

Get it off your chest mate - often times that helps alot, you're not alone my friend.

Smoke sent !!
 
Ramble all you need to Frank. We don't mind, I've done it myself. Your love and support will undoubtedly pull her through. Hang tough and remember we're thinking of you.
 
All my best wishes at this difficult time.

My prayers to you and your wife.
 
Flashbacks suck!!! Hang in there for her and we'll be here for you. My prayers and thoughts are with both of you.
 
Hang in there, Frank. Had similar issues with my wife, who had similar issues as your beloved. They need us to be strong, caring, loving, and understanding, which you are.

Therapy and meds are doing my wife right, and she is becoming the woman I saw in her 15 years ago when we first met.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, and I wish you both the best in your trying times. May she be at your side in bed again soon.

SFK,

I hope your wife gets OK. Abuse is terrible. I had a client who was abused by her father and turned him in. Terribly scarred her and then years later when he got out of jail he started coming around again. The lady was so agorophobic she couldn't leave the house. I had no medical to determine her case because she couldn't leave the house. Finally found a psychiatrist who would come to her house and do an exam for us.

With people like that you can never tell whether they are faking or not, but I thought this lady was for real. Anyway she got approved got a medical card and disability and all.

About six months later her husband called back. Now she had coverage he was trying to find a mental health center that would do house calls. That's when I knew for sure she was real. Sad, I don't know if they ever found anybody. I really had a lot of respect for her husband because most of the household responsibilities fell on him cause she couldn't leave the house. I hope she got help.

I grew up in such a good situation and have lived a pretty blessed life and I always think it's so sad folks have to deal with so much pain.
 
This must be realy hard for you Frank, its terrible too see a loved one go through pain. I wish life will bring you both joys in the futre. You sound a good man, in that way your wife is lucky.
best wishes to you both,
Spiral
