The stress was overwhelming at first, but we pulled through it. At the beginning, I was SO overprotective of Manda. I actually thought that Dh would do something wrong, or forget a med, if I took time for myslef. That is what hurt us the most, my lack of trust with him.
The trust factor has improved greatly now with DH. He is a wonderful husband, and father. My MIL, is a different story all together!
