  • Just read your post and wanted to say well done for posting. I know its not easy to talk about mental illness as my husband suffers with it and other illnesses. I know he wouldnt like that I am posting this now as there is still such a big stigma about mental illness. We have gone from him having a well paid job to him not being able to work due to his ongoing problems, which has led to the decisions we have had to make recently as we are never going to be able to repay his debt.

    But I still have my husband and like you say with help and support from family and close friends things will get better and all you can do is manage the situation and be there for your partner. But make sure you look after yourself as well, because it is so easy to neglect your own wellbeing when you are looking after the person you care about. Take Care
  • Thank you for positing, you have been on a long and really deserved something good to happen. It's great that the bank has written off the debt, there is hope after all.

    You are phenomenal person, dedicating your life to looking after your partner, not many people would do it.

    Wishing you all the best for the future and hope your partner is getting better and is able to work from time to time
