Due to the fact i was hospitalized and my son was also at the same time...I am schizo affective and had a breakdown when my son got sick.His boss let him go and he got unemployment so he could stay home and care for my son...the little guy had kwashiokir a third world disease when children are malnourished...my son wouldn't eat and we tried everything since march when we took him off the bottle , to get him to eat...he was in a feeding program through dist three.So finally after three hospitalizations for this they finally put him on a feeding tube...my husband is trying now to get into the local 147, sandhog union in NYC, the tunnel miners.I pray he gets called, he went in last night.I am up hoping to catch him when he comes in.I pray he gets a job with them, working nights would be good for us and the paycheck wouldn't hurt either he could make an excellent salary doing this.

my DH has a few side jobs lined up and goes into the tunnel in manhatten twice a week, so he is kind of burning the candle at both ends but at least work is coming in.I am tired, have been taking care of the home and kids night and day, but that is my job right now.I hope to get to a yoga or tai chi class this week for some decompressing.

Sounds like you're both tired. Probably has alot to do with the fighting.

The stress of a sick child really ways on a marriage. I know i went through one.All we did was argue and fight. The love just faded away. Sure we had other problems. But it was the stress of taking care of a disabled child, one sidded that is.
