You are facing quite a challenge Kamakazi-ladybug;
I think you are being very courageous. But if
your children and husband love you, it is so much
easier to face the struggle - it matters little
how "weird" you may act if you have people who
love you. I was just reading a story actually
at Support Coalition International, about this
lady whose husband beat her up and humiliated her
and she was mentally ill - probably got worse if not
got so on account of it. That can be very stressful
on a person with emotional problems. He left her
for his mistress and she collapsed, but i think
she is now much stronger and better.I am glad your family is understanding; the rest
is up to you to improve your situation with
any resources you have.take care
