I have had Crohn's disease since I was 5-6 years old. They can't take out any more gut. My problem is that my husband is completely unsympathetic. "Pull your bootstraps up and get on with it!". This past week I've been very weak and had a GI bleed and needed to rest. Because he had to do do all of the child care, he takes it out on me. I'm "pathetic". He just doesn't seem to understand that when I'm weak and sick, I can't handle it! What I would love to tell him is that if he had a debilitating stroke (not unlikely), I feel like I'd want to say is" pull up YOUR boot straps and get going!". I'm resentful and angry and don't know how to deal with it! Help me. Oh, by the way, he just called me a "f#€*ng pig!". What do I do? I know I'm affecting my kids, but I don't know what to do! Help!
