Hi Quine
As with alot of people, I went back to work with my partner after 5/6 months, however, I know now that was far too soon. Subsequently, I have not worked properly since, although I am now looking for something part-time.
I would say that all my relationships have suffered following the SAH. I really don't know how my partner puts up with me!! If i was him I'd be very annoyed at me!!Lol. My relationship with my children has also changed - my patience is alot shorter than it used to be and I'm sure they look at me and think what a horrible mum I am!!
I had a couple of sessions with a neuro-psychologist, which I found very helpful and he also spoke to my partner about recovery times, expectations etc. I would thoroughly recommend seeking some form of counselling if you can. If nothing else its quite good to be able to talk about yourself for an hour!!
I am still not convinced I have fully accepted what happened to me but each day does get easier particularly when you adapt your life to what you can deal with at this stage!!
I do wish you well and am here if you need to chat
Lots of love
Georgina
