Can anyone point me in the direction of support groups online for me to chat, I have lived with my husband for 14 years, married for 3, he was disabled 15 years before I met him, I have no problems with the care (my job is a carer for a company) my frustrations are dealing with my husbands moods and finding a way to vent my frustrations without shouting and arguing with him. His disability has got worse over last 6 months and He is now in a wheelchair permanently and becoming more incontinent, he is struggling to accept this, which I understand, but takes his frustrations out on me. (He is 65, I am 56)I am becoming very low and depressed. Because his accident (which caused him to become disabled) involved a brain injury, he does quite irrational things and his memory is really bad he denies his actions. To be honest all I need to do is talk to someone to try and help with my feelings, and spoke to my doctor and they referred me to ITslk but have not heard anything from them. Any guidance would be gratefully appreciated.
Welcome to the forum.
You sound very tired, when did you last have a break?
I've been caring for my son, brain damaged at birth, for 42 years. I am nearing 70, tiredness is my biggest enemy.
Are you getting any help with your husband?
When did he last have a review for his brain injury?
