My husband is thinking of divorcing me cause I am disabled
Can I please have some prayers? My husband “doesn’t want to take care of his disabled wife anymore”.
I have been mostly bedbound for a little over a year. It started about halfway through my second pregnancy. I have history of POTS before this but I began having more debilitating symptoms such as severe muscle weakness and inability to move, severe nerve pain, balance issues during times I can walk, I need to hold on to things, and a lot of other really scary symptoms…
I was left to deal with my symptoms, and my husband had to leave work when I started having episodes where I could not move for hours at a time. My doctors at the time it started, was seemingly unconcerned, and said that all will be looked into after the pregnancy. It got to a point where I was no longer able to attend OBGYN visits, and they were more concerned with the fact that I wasn’t coming into appointments than the reason. I was yelled at, and shamed for not being able to go to appointments when it got too bad to leave the house.
Since my doctors didn’t take it seriously (I had to find all new doctors to get help) my family didn’t either. My parents and my husband believes I’m crazy, at least I think they still do. Cause that’s the only explanation I can come up with as to why they still treat me badly after finding doctors that are able to point to the reasons why (critical vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune, and other things we’re still looking into)
Since getting vitamin treatments, and getting a mobility scooter I’ve been able to get around more, but I’m still having daily nerve pain, and extreme weakness episodes.
I am sick with a sinus infection, making my symptoms 100 times worse, so I’ve been down really bad the last 2 days. My daughter started showing signs of a cold, so my husband decided to take her to her pediatrician instead of waiting until later to go to urgent care with me, cause I was scared about having an episode, and my doctor doesn’t want me left alone cause I can’t reach for a phone to call for help, and we still don’t know everything going on.
I had a panic attack cause I’m not supposed to be left alone, and my husband decided to call the cops on me. He said I wasn’t letting him leave because of a panic attack, but once they got here and saw I couldn’t move my legs, they understood it wasn’t just about a panic attack.
A nice officer sat with me and was my nurse so my husband could go to the appointment, and the sheriff was here briefly in the beginning, he said to my husband that he doesn’t like this situation. That I have needs and so does my children, and he doesn’t want to have to start notifying cps and adult protective services as well.
After my husband got back, he said he really thinks he’s gonna divorce me, because he can’t take care of me, he doesn’t want to deal with it anymore.
I don’t know what to do, I’m only 23, and my family doesn’t want to take care of me either, and I lost my friends when I had my kids. I really didn’t want to go through divorce, I wanted to do it right. I don’t know if this is a situation where I can find someone else, or if I should just remain alone and try to find a facility to take me until I get physical therapy, and other treatments and then try to live alone if I can.
