I hope that today will be easier for you, that your husband will feel better and that you get some much-needed rest.

Oh Caterina, so sorry that OH has been so ill, I am sure that he will recover quickly now that the fever has broken. Be as kind as you can be to you and your
mother, think of the love you share even though she cannot express it, everything will sort itself out....can you go out for a walk even a little while in the mountain air will help toclear your head.

Much love to you all

Its only one day. There should be plenty on the tele at least.

Caterina, I'm so sorry that Christmas has turned out like this for you.

I hope that your OH will feel better soon, and you can enjoy the rest of your holiday. My parents weren't good at talking about feelings either - they were of the "pull yourself together and stop being so silly" way of thinking, and it is hurtful when you are dismissed out of hand. However old we are, we all still appreciate a kind word or action when we're down. Still, as you say, your mother won't change now, mine never did!!

Your family problems at home will be weighing heavily as well - families eh!

Thinking of you, hope that things will pick up a bit.

Today is another day Caterina and I do hope it's a better one for you. I have no words to help you cope with how you are feeling but my thoughts are with you and your DH all the same. I hope he is feeling much improved now his fever has broken xx

Caterina

Thank you again, to all my online friends. In the cold light of day I feel a bit embarrassed at having had such a bout of self pity, but I really needed the support and I knew I could get it here among your kind hearts. It got me through a very dark moment. Thank you from the depth of my heart.

Thank you also for the well-wishes for DH, they mean a lot to us.

Yes it is only one day and I so hope that DH gets better soon.

I have been looking forward to our next part of the holiday, the gift we gave each other, 4 night alone with DH in a lovely hotel at the seaside, away from families, strife, confrontations etc. We are meant to leave on 27th Dec from here, I just do HOPE we can do it, that he gets well enough and that I don't get it!

There is NOTHING worth watching on Italian TV, trust me! Either kiddy stuff or mega-irritating game shows full of pompous presenters flirting with semi-naked girls in tights! Luckily I managed to download software that allows me to watch UK stuff on catch up, and there is always YouTube, my salvation!

Hey ho, life goes on.

Have a good, peaceful and strife-free Christmas Day!

Good Morning Caterina,never feel bad about unloading on here,this is what friends are for and I'm sure I speak for many on here to say we are all thinking of you and wish you and your OH well and fingers crossed you will both be able to get away onthe 27th.
Take care my friend and God bless

Thank you JackieO! The thought of our mini meet in late January will carry me through these weird times, nothing like a good OS catch up with likeminded folks to restore the spirit! xx

Caterina my love, I was heart broken reading about how low you felt. Will you believe that in a few years you will look back on this awful Christmas with a wry smile.

I'm willing to bet that every person reading this has been through a similar experience to yours. With a slight change of personalities we have all been there.
I am a lot older than you and this time last year i was an emotional wreck. Somehow I have survived and this year, although sadness overtakes me from time to time, I can now enjoy some aspects of Christmas. Just hang on in there Caterina, time will perform its magic. Promise.

Always remember that you are a precious, unique human being and you must be very, very kind to yourself. We have all been told that we must put other people first and our own well-being way, way behind. Well, not always.

Inside you is a little, suffering Caterina and it is up to you to love and comfort her. Think....... putting your arms around her and rocking her gently, You can do that.

Always, always remember that God made you and adores you. He made you to be who you are and He is crazy about you.

Enough of the soul searching. Chin up.
