One step forward...two back

[Misty]

I've had so many ups and downs lately that I sometimes just want to say "the hell with it all". It's so hard to keep up a front so my husband won't truly see what is going on and worry him even more. He has health issues of his own but is putting it off because of me. I don't know what I would do without him and I'm not saying that because I depend on him. It's the fact that he says he wouldn't know what to do without me and he cries while saying that. So I try hard everyday to hold things back and tell little white lies to him ensuring it wasn't a bad day. This is getting harder all the time. Every day I try to read this self-help book but it's slow going because I am always so tired. I can't just wish it away so instead I focus on his feelings. He's a very upbeat type of person and likes to kid around and joke. In a way he is like a child..he enjoys Christmas which hurts me more now because I can't fake a feeling of gaiety and happiness. But he's also good at keeping things from me so I don't worry as much. I feel so guilty heaping my shit on his shoulders or anyone else for that matter. I need to lay down.
Happy Holidays to you all
