To all those women with men, the men who are tired of supporting and who don't understand, tell them to write to me and I will do my best to help them understand.
It is not easy but it is not fair to leave someone who has chronic problems. This disorder/disease is so misunderstood.
If I can be of help, I will.

Hi everyone. I really need some prayers my way. This disease has really gotten to me and my family.I am really trying to get the money to get the surgery. But my problem now is it has effected my whole life.I have only been married a little over a year and my husband Dewitt has told me over and over this week that our marriage is over, that he can't take it anymore. He said he is stressed to the point that he don't care anymore. He is a wonderful man and I understand that I sometime nag when I am not feeling well. I also know it takes two to fight. He is a proud man and will not go to counseling. He has said things that just cause my heart to physically hurt. He did say he would stay till I got the money raised and had the surgery. But, then he said I was on my own. I just don't understand that if he was going to stay through all that, then he wants to leave when I will be back to normal. I just can't take much more. I am so lonely right now. I feel like I am losing everything that I love. Thanks for listening to me. I love you all, and I know I haven't been writing much I am going to try and do better. Hey Chrissie!Love, Terri Dear Terri, I don't have many answers, but I've been in pain so long and my husband for 22 years threatens to leave me too, although I don't really believe him.I found this adhesion site last week and it's been incredible how much better I feel knowing I'm not alone. Pray if you can. Lay down and put your hand over the pain and speak to it. Don't be mad at it, but try to sooth it away. I know that sounds like nonsense but sometimes it does help me. I've had three surgeries, and I don't want to discourage you but they don't always help. Please don't give up.Sally G.
