  • Thanks everyone (and hello basketcase!). You are all too kind. Xx

    Yesterday was a bit of an odd day. DH woke up completely lacking in energy and quite 'disconnected' (slow). He was craving sugar and I was starting to see a pattern developing,so we obviously decided against the gym. Ended uphaving a day off the diet and he started to come round a bit.

    Then all of a sudden I got horrible pains in my lower back/buttock. Lord knows what I've done but it hurt to walk/sit up/lie down/lean over. Hoping it's just something muscular rather than sciatica or anything more serious. It's not too bad this morning so hopefully it will get better not worse throughout today. Work will be fun tonight if I can't walk :(.

    DH got angry with DS1 last night :(. DH said he grabbed him by the shirt collar, DS1 said his Dad jabbed him in the neck with the ends of his fingers. Whatever happened it was an accident but it was caused by DH's anger. We are both feeling a bit depressed about that.

  • Morning,


    Sorry to hear your in pain, fingers crossed it gets better as the day goes on.


    Also sorry to hear DS/DH had a falling out, I think your son is a similar age to mine (12), its a funny age for boys, not a boy yet not a man, hormones raging and think they are king of the hill. My DS and DH can get to logger heads and I end up being referee. it gets horrible sometimes.


    I hope you have a good day, take care.x.
  • That's exactly it Penny. DS1 is 11, 12 in September, and is every bit the stroppy pre-teen who thinks he's the only thing that matters in the world. I worry things will only get worse between him and DH as he gets older as DH goes from calm to all out rage in a matter of seconds :(. Xx

  • Pain seems to have disappeared :D.

    Feeling very stressed though. DH hasn't been good again today and keeps making uncontrolled jerky movements like he does when he's asleep, but this time when he's awake which is new. I keep feeling sick and I'm not sure if it's nerves about having to go to work and leave it all to MiL, or if I really am sick.

    Stop the world I want to get off :(.

  • Thanks everyone. DH was ok while I was at work and I think getting out did me good. Fingers crossed the rest of the night is uneventful. Xx

    Lucky
    you never cease to amaze me how much you put up with.

    I feel for you re DS and OH. It can be a bit like that here sometimes. Except OH doesn't have the excuse of having a brain injury. He is just stressed because of a problem at work and no sleep.

    It does get better I am told. We just have to grit out teeth and get through it. The hard part for me is standing to one side a bit. Because the boys need to be parented by their dad, now they are teenagers... Oh well we will all get there in the end.

    Can I just say again how pleased I was to see you were debt free. You really deserve it. Have you a plan on what you are going to do with the 'spare money' you now have?
