Dear Honeypie,

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through a bad patch. The wimmenfolk here are very supportive and kind.. I'm a newbie to this forum too, but I enjoy coming here and sharing.

I confess, I don't know what you're going through quite exactly, but about 10 years ago, my 2 year old son was very very sick in ICU, and then I had to take 2 years off work to stay home and look after him, not knowing how things would turn out (he had major brain damage from a serious epileptic fit). So I understand a little bit about life being bleak.

Life can be crappy. But when you come out of the other end, it can make you a stronger and better person. Your kids sound great. Your husband not so... Stick to your guns. And go cycling, even if you don't feel like, you might find it helps relieve the stress and pain that you're going through.

Take care,

eva
