I'm so sorry angelica. I would suggest though, to stop covering for your husband. It just enables the abuse. I'm surprised that nobody at Church helps you! I wish you had an advocate there to help you. That is one of things I used to do for residents. I'm continuing to pray for you angelica! **hugs**Good norning. Thankyou for your continued prayers. They certainly are needed.
I had a very bad day yesterday. I am very up and down. I felt hopeless and upset because I went to Mass and it seems that no one can understand that I am blind (the ophthalmologist states that I am even though I can still see shapes and a bit of faded colour) and I struggle to get from the front of the Church to the back and out of the door. Incannot see anyone to ask them for help but I know they are all gathered in groups talking to each other but do not talk to me. It makes me feel very very alone.
Additionally, if they do speak it is to ask about my husband, worrying if he is ill or domething, when Social Services are trying to get me separated out from him because of his abuse. I can't tell them that though, and he appears to be a really good man in pyblic, whilst at home he will not give me food, gets angry, etc etc and I am confined to the bedroom. He will not do the things the Blind Rehabilitation man stated was necessary, or allow equipment for me re my blindness. Nthe house is a death trap for me. I am scared.
I am now much more frightened than I was but maybe that is because I am so very very isolated. It is hard. My yeart rate was up to 160 at times yesterday and my oxygen was down to 82 which is scary. I am keeping a log for my doctor.
Thankyou all. And thankyou Michie for what you have said re my hysband. It will work out, but it is both difficult and slow. I have to tread c arefullu. I have lst Cjurches through trying to let people know about him and. I do not want to lise my. Church again. Mi could not cope with that.
Lts has happened today but I heed a rest now so will maybe pist later. You are all verymkind. Hugs back at you all
Just know that I emphasize with you. I know you need us to keep a vigil and keep praying for you, that you'll be strong spiritually. Keep believing God is close to you. Keep believing God loves you and He'll deliver you in His time, in His way. His way is perfect. We're all going through dark times. There will be a resurrection for us all. We just have to trust and believe. All my love goes out to you. My poor prayers go up.Good norning. Thankyou for your continued prayers. They certainly are needed.

No baby, don't lose faith. Don't let your husband take that too. Can you download an app where you can speak your text?Bless uou bene. I do know that you understand and can empathise.
I am having another very bad day today. I feel so alne and as if no one understands me and often I get blamed for things that I can't help. I don't do it how ppl want me to do t and I then lose them.
Today I gave isolated totally. I am angry, crying, feel no one cares ( here where I luve, I mean). Life seems impossible. I am almost blind now -!it is going more every day. My husband has aken over our cleaner lady and they are dealing with my clithes and my stuff and I cannot see what they are doing and I want to shout 'STOP - those are MY things." They do not care. Mi am stripped of everything. I talked t a friend from my writing group yesterday and we got close - but the conversation made me lise my faith, for the very first time. So I did not go to Mass today. I knew noone there would help me.
I am sad, angry, hopeless, and sorry for myself.
I have been searching the net to see if it is really true that I cannot have an anaesthetic because I need my eyesight back so I can keep control of my life somehow and not be at the mercy of others. All that I find tells me that indeed it s very Dangerous. But I mught risk it anyway if the anaesthetist will let me. At present he will Not but I am going to reopen it maybe. I fe e l I am not even a person any more. I cannot even write my,poetry Any more. B ecause my faith has gone. I guess it is not God I have lost faith in, but ppl.
This is the very first ti m e I h ave lost faith. I beed to be ab le to write my poetry. As it is all i have to do all day
Or tell the priest to make an announcement.I can't help feeling that the being ignored in Church could be dealt with - but it needs to be done by YOU.
You need to feel able to sit there , in your chair in the middle of the Church as folk are going out and say very very loudly
STOP !! I KNOW YOU ARE THERE - I CAN FEEL YOUR PRESENCE !
YOU MUST COME TO ME AND TALK WITH ME - I CAN'T SEE YOU.
I'M SORRY I MAKE YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE - BECAUSE I'M ALMOST BLIND - THAT'S NOT MY FAULT. I CAN'T HELP BEING IN A WHEELCHAIR . BUT THIS IS WHO I AM NOW.
WHERE IS YOUR CHRISTIAN LOVE FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED.
It would take a lot of courage to do that - but it could help
