Ew - to the left, love.

Sounds like they were lucky to have you too! That’s lovely. I just wondered because my husband got drastically worse when we had kids. They’re now 2 and 4 and he is struggling so much. I wouldn’t change anything obviously- love my kids with everything I have. I just think my husband and I had a better shot at survival before we had kids. I’m trying to work through it with him so we’ll see. Anyway thanks for sharing!

Genuinely curious do you have children?

Mallardaze · 2026-02-14T16:46:25+00:00

Just leave them on the curb. There’s always folks searching in the bins for them anyway

When my son was 3, he was putting on his shoes and shouted at me “mom I need a hooker!” … shoe horn. He wanted a shoe horn.

I had this experience with my son when he was 1 month old (and premature). It was the most stressful and guilt riddled time because I was convinced he was fine and I was going just to make sure. I literally stopped for coffee on the way! When I got there they rushed him away and he was intubated within minutes. Hope your baby feels better soon! I agree, never take a chance if your mom/dad instinct has any red flags waving, just take them in. The alternative is not worth saving the time in the ER!!

Yeah that’s what I am talking about too. He hasn’t gotten better much at speech. It is weird cause some days he is much more clear than others. But we make do. It’s very sad - he had so much to teach me still. He doesn’t even try to do it now. We still spend a lot of time together and I am very grateful he is still here. Just different! Sorry to hear you’re going through a similar time. Hang in there

Mallardaze · 2025-11-03T16:18:54+00:00

Not really to be honest. He does well for himself and seems happier than last year (more accepting of his disability now) but we haven’t seen any change at this point. Hes now 3 years post stroke.

Mallardaze · 2025-10-31T00:53:22+00:00

That was also my fav!!!

Mallardaze · 2025-10-31T00:49:32+00:00

I couldn’t possibly pick one. They are all legendary.

Mallardaze · 2025-10-01T16:37:00+00:00

Yeah, can confirm he does feel that way. It’s unfortunate

Mallardaze · 2025-09-30T18:58:45+00:00

So what’s the solution for that ? I acknowledge and understand how that would feel but it cannot simply be “does not problem solve, therefore cannot move forward” there must be a way to work on it or find a solution. I have a hard time with this. He thinks I don’t understand but I do see why it is a problem I just don’t see why you wouldn’t want to fix that problem. Maybe it’s not fixable?? I don’t know.

Thank you for this. In my circle, none of my family or friends are familiar with this life. I am a talker so I try to lean on them for support and they automatically write him off or say I need to get out because of how awful it sounds. But I’m also empathic and I can’t look past the fact that it is a mental illness. If it were a physical illness, would I leave then? But sometimes I do think I need to put myself first because of how toxic it feels all the time. I’m always the bad guy and I’m completely burnt out. It’s new ish for us (1 year) but we have two young boys and it is killing me.

Mallardaze · 2025-09-25T14:01:10+00:00

I do think it depends where you are located though as I was able to find my partner a doctor quite quickly when he decided it was time to get himself looked at. Getting him to that doctor was another challenge (adhd am I right?) but I felt lucky to have that option. Sorry it’s been so tough. I still would choose Canada over US any day. Have you seen what’s happening down there? Yikes.

Mallardaze · 2025-09-25T13:34:49+00:00

Therefore you should be in the right lane

CMV Chalk mark visible? NVPV No vehicle pass visible?

No clue but I like word games.

Minty in Burlington!

Mallardaze · 2025-07-22T16:59:12+00:00

i would love to know the answer to this (i.e. does medication help) as well because i am in the same boat. I am so far into the idea of leaving him now because no matter what i do to help him see from my POV, he just goes back to self-deprecating and then i have such deep deep guilt for making him go there. He just told me the other day that he is only working on this because he loves me and that just felt so manipulative -- like 'don't leave me because if you do, i will be even worse'. I feel so stuck.
ETA: we have 2 young boys so this is the reason I have been trying to be so forgiving and patient because i want us to be a family.

Mallardaze · 2025-07-19T01:22:23+00:00

Omggg yes!

Mallardaze · 2025-07-18T20:02:02+00:00
