[Miss Juggles]

You are right Vera – at the moment the balance isn’t right ! At various points throughout the relationship the balance of responsibility has swung back and forth and we’ve managed. Recent months have involved huge upheaval – I only went back to work in sept after maternity leave, he had a period of significant illness (which I now know was stress due to the gambling). Other times he’s been there for me – we’ve hit this point where we’re both in this awful place and energy is low on both sides.

Family therapy is a good suggestion – will look into what is available!

Thank you for being there – just knowing that someone is hearing me makes such as a difference x
