Last Thursday I attended a meeting with my wife Jo, we were asked to go and see a Neuropsychologist. At this meeting that lasted for nearly 2 hours Jo told the Psychologist that she wanted to be alone in dealing with her MS. She has shut herself off from everyone and now she wants to do it to me. On Monday of this week we received a letter from the Neuropsychologist informing Jo of new session times, where they would meet up once a week for the next six weeks. Included in this letter was the following paragraph “Jo is suffering from severe mood depression, she is shutting herself off from everyone stating she wants to be left alone to deal with her MS, she is putting strain on her Marriage because of this”.
Today Jo told me that after thinking about things, she would attend the sessions but had come to the decision that after they were finished she wanted me to leave !!
I died inside…
I feel angry because I have given up my life to care for her 24/7 for the last 10 years. I am unemployable because I have no current references to give anyone. I have no money to call my own(Carer’s Allowance will cease). I just don’t know what to do…
