Quote From: sweets537Thank you for your post. Yes my husband is going out of his mind trying to help me, and me being my stubborn self wont let him. He walks on eggshells because he has no idea what to say. The first week my son left, my husband just looked at me one afternoon and said "i've never seen you like this" Which is the truth, he knows me as the strong willed person who can do everything on my own. But when my strong point is gone, i fall to pieces.
When I was pregnant with my son i was extremely depressed. Here I was a single mom, living with my mom and my sons father didn't want a child at that time. OF course he came around and he is a good dad. I will give him that! I have been on meds before but again me being the strong person, i told myself "you dont need those" and i stopped taking them and went on with my life.
Right now I am at a standstill and my husband doesn't even know all of this that I am telling you guys. I dont want to hurt his feelings or scare him by telling him this. He knows that I am sad, hurt, lonely, depressed because all I do is drink at this point. But he doesn't know how to help or what to say because he is scared I will bite his head off.
I doubt you will scare him off Sweet. When a man marries a woman it is because he loves you, even when you have problems. I bet if you talk to him he will understand and be your shoulder to cry and lean on when you need him. Especially now when it sounds like you need him the most. Trust him enough to let him know what you are feeling. My husbands shoulders are the best place in the world to be when my world is falling apart. They shelter you from everything until the storm of tears pass.
