Oh sweetheart. That must really hurt. Does he realise you heard that?

I don’t know. I feel so guilty
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
I know. And I know it's no good telling you not to feel like that as it will make absolutely no difference. I do think you need to speak to Si about it so it doesn't fester. But I can also appreciate you may want to protect him from feeling guilty about it.

I agree, definitely talk to Si about what you heard and how you are feeling.
I've been trying to leave you be so you can work through it, but do you want me to pester you a bit more? Might it help?
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
Love you guys. At this point I have no idea what’ll help tbh

Is it out of character for Jess to fall behind with work and get low marks? Is there something worrying her that she isn't talking to you about? With regard to Si's outburst, or frustration and letting off steam - it's a shame you heard it, and it's a shame you're feeling bad about it, but I bet if you had a fiver for every time he, or any other man with a partner/family screamed about keeping the family together, trying to make enough money for bills etc. etc...you'd be a wealthy woman! When there's a problem or argument about kids or anything else they don't have much control over, it ends up with the above dramatic comments! Don't feel bad love, don't feel guilty, don't feel ungrateful and don't feel useless or powerless. Along with a lot of others here, you are the epitome of strength, and a lovely wife and mum. Si didn't mean it. Ian never means it, and most other husbands and partners don't either! So there.....-.gif ")")

Flo, jess is just like her dad. She’ll keep going on something until she gets bored and will then stop. We’ve had this before with her GCSEs but the volume of work involved in her A levels mean she cannot afford to do that
I’m just so tired of being ill, of hospitals, of my life revolving around medical issues. I want to have the energy I need to get through each day, to not be exhausted just by meeting a friend for coffee, to have a life

77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"
I’m not gonna lie, the last couple of conversations we’ve had are a worry to me. It’s blatantly obvious that you’re really not in a good place and with everything you have going on that’s not really a surprise. I don’t have anywhere near the same level of health problems that you are having to cope with and I find it incredibly hard to juggle the appointments and manage my health. At times I genuinely don’t want to go on cos it’s too much for me which means I have so much more respect for you. Yes life is pants right now but as I said to you earlier it can’t be this crap forever. You’re a strong woman and too damned stubborn to lie down and accept it to keep you down.
