Any disabled mums out there?

[susanneb1984]

I have 2 DD's, age 10 and 7 and I had a stroke in November 2011. It has left me with memory loss, and concentration issues. I also have OCD, bipolar, hypermobility, fibromyalgia and ME.

I am attempting to study a degree at university but would love to have other mums to talk too.

Thanks

Hi I have nothing compared to u but I was born with club foot an have had several surgeries to correct it. This in turn has caused other problems tht cause sum downers.

Hi there, i also have nothing compared to you but one of my legs is shorter than the other. My right leg is shorter, its causes my pelvis to tilt and can cause me back, shoulder and neck pain.

Pregnancy was very painful in the 3rd trimester and had immensely sore pelvic pain and ended up with spd too.

Does mentally disabled count? I have schizoaffective disorder which means I'm very up and down with depression and I have psychotic episodes like a schizophrenic... My partner has had to leave his job to help me with the kids as I can't manage on my own...

Hi all

I'm not registered disabled but I suffer from chronic back pain and chronic pelvis congestion

I also get numbness and my legs give way so end up on the floor
I drop things my hands and arms are weak but doctor says it's all related to back pain ??

I'm in pain all day everyday and I'm very fed up it gets me down so much. I hate complaining as there's always someone worse than me but it's torture.

 

[Abblebubba]

My OH is really getting me down

 

[maybebby]

Hi 4boys I been experiencing sever bck pain an they said it was fibromyalgia. I kinda feel like its just a quick answer to satisfy me tho so I'm kinda unhappy about it. But like u I don't like to complain either .....

Y so abbleabubba?

Over the Christmas period my OH got pneumonia and was taken to hospital he was discharged from the hospital and his mum took him back to hers where he's currently spending half a week and half a week with me as his family rely greatly on him as they are elderly I have been very patient with this and seeings as we are meant to be getting married in less than 6 months I assumed one day soon he would stop letting them run his life and step up so we can start our life together.
When asked on Christmas eve (over 5 days post hospital stay) to come over to my house and be with us at christmas I was bombarded with messages from his mum and family demanding he wasnt to be coming anywhere near my house as he was far too I'll to which I messaged my OH and said where ever he was he was going to be unwell so why would he not prefer to be over with us and my son enjoying the festive period as best he could.
Eventually he went against his families wishes and came to us Christmas eve his family were apaulled he'd come anyway and boxed up all our gifts in anger and told him to just take them.

Now since then I saw him new years eve and he was better we celebrated new years and then he left 2nd of January and I haven't seen him since!
He has become I'll again and had a relapse and is back on anti biotics and I'm being blamed! Apparently its my cold, damp house that caused him to become unwell again and were back to the lock down and him not being allowed out to see me!

As a foot note during the period between Christmas and new years his soo loving and doting mother made him walk the dog for two hours down the seafront in the gailforce winds and got soaked through to the skin!!! But of course this had nothing to do with his relapse!!!!

I'm just so angry of course I don't wish him unwell but I do wish he'd step up and start acting like my H2B

I have chronic pain and a mental illness, which includes depression. My sons only 4 months, but I was hoping I could join you here for support if that's okay

Abblebubba that's awful! Why would your husband not want to be with his family? I'd be very upset and I don't think I'd be able to handle that at all. What with all of the problems that come with being disabled having a partner, or someone, there for us can make all the difference. Maybe you could have a sit down with him and explain that you need him and that being a family comes with being with a family. I hope your able to convince him because that is really unfair to you, having to deal with that drama. And he is a grown adult, he knows what is making him sick and what isn't, and that is not your responsibility so don't feel bad. All you can do is be loving and helpful to him, and he to you in return.

Hi alyssangle and welcome!


Abblebubba : tht wld make me insane! I'm sorry to hear such a stressful situation. Have y'all tlked about him " Manning" up? Yes his family is very important but he also shouldnt make commitments to u if he can't be there for u! Just my thoughts. I guess I'm lucky tht my so isn't really close to his mom (thank God bc she's half crazy! And Im not stretching tht accusation! Lol) obviously he's a good man to stick around to take care of mom an dad but he needs to find a balance between you both....
