Why I'm starting this blog

For a long time I've been dealing with stress, anxiety and depression and I'm going to start working on dealing with it. I'm a 30 year old mum of three wonderful boys who are my world, I'm also married to my husband who has an acquired brain injury from an accident in 2004, so it's a constant daily struggle at times dealing with his short term memory problems and dealing with his moods, frustration and anger. Most of the time things coast along by sometimes we have setbacks that make me feel like here we go again, like it's ground hog day, and a lot of the times it is, due to my husband's incapacity and his limitations. It can create quite a stressful, horrible home life for everyone involved. I want to try and change this constant dynamic, I want a stress less home, I want my relationship with my husband to be less tense. We've been through so much and the way things are going something has to change. I am committed to him as the father of my children and getting constantly frustrated at him serves no one. It doesn't serve me, him, or our children, so I'm going to make a constant effort to deal with things better. That's all for now, but will need this place to share my thoughts and vent my angst here rather than direct it at other's that don't deserve it.
