To be put on another waitinng list doesn't help you now.

Hubby's team should recognise the need for you to unburden yourself, so personally I would ask them to add some weight (letter or phone call) to your referral for this other service. And it's in their interest to help you.

Wishing you a restful night's sleep honey.

((((((wife of)))))), linking arms with you. I agree with many, they should recognize that you need to be unburdened as your H's symptoms are severe. And the fact that you may have natural qualities to intervene is not a reason to leave you with such a burden, you need space for yourself and your son. Will keep you in my prayers so that someone can get enlightened and pose a constructive act for your husband's sake and your family.
 
Oh sweetheart - I am so sorry to have come back to catch up on things and read all of that. I really am so, so sorry. But, I truly believe that he is in the best place for all three of you right now. I hope that doesn't offend anyone, but he needs medical care now and if they are finally looking at all aspects of his illnesses then HOORAY! I will be keeping everything crossed for you that they find the common link and do something about it. I will be thinking of you and sending you big hugs.

Don't worry in the slightest about coming across as right cow - it wasn't your fault that a random "joke" rubbed you up the wrong way, so much as a nasty coincidence. Lots of love x
 
According to the therapist I'm already doing all the things he could teach me and I need more of an unburdening service due to the fact that whilst I know how to process all this rubbish and do so daily I'm just getting swamped so I'm back on another waiting list.

Not to put too fine a point on it, and at the risk of stating the obvious, or coming off like a fruit-y nutty california girl - you and your son have experienced a major trauma!!!!! Bodily stopping a loved one from cutting his hand off with a saw is not your everyday average -ho hum go home and get over it - kind of thing. I mean, it might be a lot more everyday for YOU than anyone would willingly imagine - but STILL. What kind of idiots are the psych people there? Do they NOT KNOW that you and your son need trauma debriefing???? We have "go to" psychologists and social workers here who specialize in this kind of thing, are there such people where you live? If not I can give you a phone number of a couple of people here in the states to talk to (I'll even buy you the phone time! (breathe. breathe.)

This is not actually what I meant to write.

What I meant to write was this: I am beyond words sad for you and your husband and son. I am glad that he is in the hospital with people looking after him, and that you've gotten some time "off" and to sleep. Sending prayers and rivers of peaceful healing california energy to all three of you... You are an amazing woman, I just wish you didn't have to put it to use like this....
