Family illness- please help

Posted by Off_The_Wall

So we have yet to travel with our baby which means the majority of my family has yet to meet her. But we've told my family for months now that we will go to my parent's house for Easter and will stay for a week so that my brother, SIL, and nephew can have time to meet her and spend time with her. It's a 6 hour trip so it's not like we can just get together whenever.

My mom has put a lot of work into preparing every little detail to host this Easter celebration. I know she's already cooked a lot of food, gotten things for an Easter egg hunt for P and my nephew, made them Easter baskets, and even bought Easter dresses for my girls.

I have a lot of anxiety about traveling to begin with. I also have anxiety about the thought of my girls (and myself) getting sick.

My SIL and my nephew are always sick and even the last time we were around them they gave P and I a cold that they had.

Well I just got a message from my SIL saying that my nephew has had a stomach bug for the past 3 days and is still having symptoms but they took him to the doctor and the doctor said he's probably over the contagious part of the illness and it's okay for them to travel.

We are all supposed to be at my parent's house tomorrow.

I can't imagine knowingly having my babies around people who are probably carrying a stomach virus. E already doesn't nurse well, is not gaining weight like she should, and babies can get dehydrated fast as a result.

But at the same time I feel awful that my mom has gone to so much trouble. I also know that everyone is going to think I'm being ridiculous if we decide not to go and it will be a very long time before I hear the end of it.

I am sobbing uncontrollably right now and don't know what to do. Either way I decide I feel like it's going to be my fault---- either we go and I risk my girls getting sick, making it my fault---- or we stay and everyone is upset with us and it's my fault. What do I do???? Please help!View Thread

Welp, when I got back into participating on this board I told myself I would have to do just that. And I would need to be honest. Ive been holding out for a few days, and i wanted to see how everyone was doing too. (glad to see so much strength on this board!)

last saturday K and I broke out in a big fight. it was over my horrible money management, his "other women" (and another story...), my dragging feet on my business idea, his mind games and anger (obvi) and us not moving back in together come May...all very stressfull on top of daily lives

well in the fight i have a tendancy of moving inward. lots of tears and a lack of being able for my feelings to pass through into words. i ended up giving myself a couple of bruises and light scratches. i knew as i was doing it...but i was doing it right in front of him and he didnt know. and I know if he did, he would have been even more angry.

thats prob another reason why i did it. to do it bc he didnt want me to (so there! says my inner juvenile demon). but he also threw a plastic cup at me...it missed and he gripped me by the sleeve of my shirt. he doesnt realize how strong he is, especially when he is mad, and he gave a good size bruise and rug burn from the tightening of the shirt. its on my inner right elbow. and it bothers me every day (im right handed and its not really a funny kind of bone...). but rugby started so if anyone asks...i have a cover up.

after our fight, he asked me if he hurt me. and i showed him. he was as remorseful as anyone would be. i was in such a sad state I replied with "i deserved it"...dark times...and he sat straight up and told me directly that in no way do i ever deserve that. he kept apologizing. he has been more thoughtful this week. and has been keeping a closer eye on my feelings...maybe he did notice my SH...

i made him kiss it better the other night. maybe it was cruel, he did cringe, but he should see his damage! i love him so much, and a part of me is looking forward to moving back home. it is so bittersweet and confusing. we are supposed to go to jamaica in june (which has help my financial woes). and he let it slip that he bought me an engagement ring. he aplogized that he did, i wasnt to know...yet anyways. so lets just throw that on the pile.

im emotionally exhausted. i cry everyday, from random triggers like a song or story on the news. its crazy. ive been getting better at talking myself out of it tho, but it just feels so good to cry...and since im trying not to do other things, i guess its better. im usually in the car anyways. i have just over an hour of a commute to work (bleh).

thanks for being here. i love you all so much. I am so grateful i can count on this board and get it out of me. - loving vibesView Thread
