All the stories help. I'm 30 and my husband has renal faliure and diabetes and has all the complations from both. i have turned into a fulltime cargiver. My days are driving him to treatments daily and also working. There is no time for the life we dreamed of so yes I to have moments were I want to run and find my dream life. I could never truly 100% leave him we have been together for almost 15yrs. I have know him since school I don't know a day without him in it since we meant. I care for him dearly and want the best care for him. I just fill cheated that I didnt get to have a family and home with him. I know though he feels the same cheated for he to had dreams. I have just recently learned to take it one day at a time and don't live each day in regret. I still have down days i call them my pitty party and i know he to has these days. He has too adjusted a bit and always trys to be nice and thankful. I know he to feels bad that we didnt get our dream family and home. We both struggle with the loss of our realtionship with each other. We sleep apart and have for some time that was the hardest for me i still struggle with sleeping alone. this was his choice he has not show any affection toward me in some time. i went from a friend and wife to a full time caregiver only. i'm trying hard to adjust and be with him threw this. each day I struggle alittle with finding the new normal in our life and everyone giving there thoughts. i have learned this being a caregiver to the one you love it is the hardest job in the world and it has to take a strong person to give there live for there loved one.
