Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Dear Dawn, I am so sorry that you are dealing with so much right now. Especially around this time of the year when we have added responsibilities, and obligations added to our lives. Sorry to hear of your losses in your family. They are always so hard to deal with and understand. We always ask " Why? " and most times we never get the answer. I hope your Mother gets better and I will add her to my prayer list along with you and your daughter. I am wondering if some of your Mother's health problems could be related to the loss of her sisters. I do know that alot of people who are depressed and lonely sleep alot more than normal. It is their way of dealing with the loss. I am very upset and concerned about the way your husband is treating you and your daughter. His hurtful words are not going to make you any better, and for him not to understand what Mito is and what you and your daughter are going through is just unbelievable. His yelling and cruel words just add to the stress of what you are dealing with, and makes our health so much worse. I am a Christian Believer and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I will ask him to look over you and your family and to help you deal with all the stress of your loved ones passings and health problems. I will also ask that he give you the strength to get through each day, one foot at a time, and that he can help your husband come to terms with what you are facing. And I am sending lots and lots of warm gentle hugs to you!!! Hugs, Ann-Marie Feeling overwhelmed! I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with life right now. I ahve had two aunts die this month to what I believe to be mito. They were both placed into nursing homes and where in wheel chairs while in there fifty's. My mother has ahd many health problems and is now having muscular problems and sleeps all of the time. My stepfather is fatally ill and has less than a year to live. All of these people are in there lower sixties. My mother is falling apart with the loss of her two sisters and the quick decline of her husband. Her health is poor and I do not think she will make it through all of this. I wish I could help her, but I feel overwhelmed with my own circumstances. Things at home are difficult. We just lost my husbands grandparents. My father has cancer. My 13 yr old daughter was doing well, but her dysautonomia symptoms have resurfaced with the onset of puberty. I am trying very hard to deal with all of this. I am trying to teach my daughter and myself to accept our limitations and live life to the fullest. But it is so hard when my husband is not understanding. He yells at us when we have bad days to get our @#$!@%^ ^&%&*^ up and &*$#%^ do something. His words are so hurtful and destructive. I can not take it anymore. I feel very protective of my daughter. I have asked him for a divorce, but he refuses. At the time I do not have the energy or resouces to pursue this futhur. I wish he would just find someone else. I am just in a pity party right now. For those of you who are Christians please put my family in your prayers.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I had an uncle die last week, and I also think he had mito, but his doctors didn't recognize it. Neuropathy, stroke-like episodes, unexplained heart problems... It sounds like your husband is having trouble dealing with everything too, some people shut down, some people get angry, and they don't know who or what they are angry at. Anger management classes come to mind. Family counseling could work, but it sounds like you all have so many uncontrollable items on your plate, family counseling may just increase your frustrations at this time. Do you have a local " battered women " shelter? They might offer some suggestions about your situation over the phone, without " official " counseling. We have such a place about 15 miles away from my house, and it's good to know it is there if I or a friend needed to stay somewhere in an emergency, or for emergency couseling. You guys are in our thoughts. Take care, RH > > I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with life right now. I ahve had two > aunts die this month to what I believe to be mito.
