Hi Heidi
Sorry to hear what you are going through and I feel the frustration you are facing every day. You need to get help for your partner, your kids and for yourself. We can only do so much before we burn out and if that happens then we are no good to anybody. Right now my family is doing, we had so much company visit this last summer I thought I would loose my mind, great for my husband and girls but loads of work and stress for me on top of the normal load and stress, I couldn't wait to get away from them all to work or to soccer, ( I play on a Woman's Masters team once a week) and run around like a mad woman. I hope to be able to keep playing through all of this as I know it helps my mental and phsyical being and I am no good to my family if I can't funtion. Like I said right now we are doing and will see how long I can keep up what I am doing, hopefully I will see the warning signs or a friend will of burning out and catch it before the damage is done. I feel guilty as hell leaving for work or soccer but know I need the time away to not think sometimes of what is happening to him to all of us or what will be sooner than we want.
It may be hard but you have to look for or ask for help it's out there.
