“My husband says that he does most of the work. But he doesn’t. Since I am working from home part-time most of the caretaking falls to me.”
“She gets angry and has meltdowns all the time. She doesn’t like the food I make and most of the time she ends up throwing food at the floor or at me.”
“I am at my wit’s end and it is just so emotionally exhausting.”
On December 15th, her husband wound up having to work late, so he asked her if she could feed his niece dinner.
Her husband’s niece is very difficult when it comes to food since if it changes in texture or taste, she won’t eat it and she will meltdown.
She tried to feed her husband’s niece dinner that evening, and it did not go well at all.
“She threw the plate at my feet and I ended up bleeding,” she said. “At that point, I called my husband and asked him to be home asap.”
“He said he wouldn’t be able to. I went up to my room and told him I am not dealing with this anymore. He came hours later and she was still crying. He was absolutely furious at me.”
Her husband accused her of being irresponsible and heartless, so she said she was done and packed up to go to her mom’s house. She let her husband know she would be gone until the New Year.
Since she left, her husband called her up every single day begging her to come home. She eventually did return, and she let her husband know that she got her old full-time job back and it’s starting in a few days.
“It is in-office and requires a lot of travel,” she continued. “He asked me who was supposed to stay at home as she cannot be left alone, he has no more leaves and full-time caretakers are too expensive.”
