Oh dear, Jen I wish I had a good answer for you. Just know that Jim and I relate, as we are going through similar experiences with Evie at the moment. She has a physical illness which has gotten worse lately, and she alternates between denying it, being angry at everyone, and retreating to her bed. The last 2 days have been especially bad. Evie has said the same thing, 'what else can go wrong' ? I believe it's difficult for her to remain positive with several stressors occuring at once. Jim gave her another attitude adjustment today and she seems better again, but who knows how long it will last. I hope eventually she will get the message that her behaviour will not be tolerated.

I'm not certain what the answer is with your husband. Can you offer to go walking with him? Will he talk to you about how he feels? I do wish you all the best. Please keep coming back here to talk. If nothing else I am willing to listen.
