Hello everyone, Im new here

I don’t like the word “burden” either, probably also because I just don’t see my wife that way at all and because I have always known her this way, so for me this is normal. Sadly she/ illness have been referred to as such by her family which has shaped the way she sees herself. I understand where it is coming from but it makes me resentful thinking how much worse thoughtless words can make things

I agree entirely! Lack of knowledge and tact can do so much damage. Thank goodness she can rely on you for love and support. And at the end of the day that's all that matters!
