Hello,

I have looked after my Husband for the last 10 Years with Emphysema at the end state now,  I am so tired as I have to work at the same time as being his career, I do not mind but he does not appreciate ant thing I do, he has an eating problem and is so fussy about food it is driving me mad as he wants everything fresh which I try and buy but he is not sure what he wants and says I should have more imagination and then I cook it and he says he can not chew it,he is on the oxygen machine and yesterday I pulled a muscle trying to move it and help him to the have a bath as he can not do anything now, I have 4 grown up children and 5 grand daughters and I have never had any problems with cooking for them, all the family said it is a hang up he has about food, also they are all fed up with the way their Dad treats me, we do make allowance's for his state, but he just wants to moan and argue with all of us it is so draining for all the family, I am not enjoying my grand children or family I am so tired and I am so stressed out trying to please him just to have a bit of piece and quite, I have said to him that I am feeling ill myself now and I can not enjoy the family and I do not go anywhere as I have to look after him, his answer is his life is finished and he is fed up as he can not do anything  I have tried to say that is not very nice for me either and it is not my fault, I think he does envy all of us as he thinks we are having a better time than him, could anyone please let me know is this normal for people with emphysema to be so nasty, sorry to go on a bit, I do not have many people that I can discuss this situation with.

Anne
