My wife had a mini-stroke 17 months ago and has recovered with minimual complications. I started out as a caregiver and now just dealing as a spouse. Lately, I am strugling with doing and saying the right things, which has caused friction between us.
"I am strugling with doing and saying the right things"
To clarify, do you mean YOU are a struggling to say what you want? Finding it harder to control your mood. Maybe tense, frustrated, short-tempered. Maybe feeling low or not enjoying life as you were?
Or that whatever you say or do isn't 'right' for your Wife. That she may be frustrated, more emotional, short-tempered or angry?
Or a combination of both?
My LO is a stroke survivor. M can get obsessive about things. This can be mildly wearying or downright blood pressure raising depending on how long it goes for.
