This tore at my heart, Jeannie. Your anguish and exhaustion is so palpable, through your writing. I absolutely LOVE your analogy of “Flying with a tattered wing.” I think that description perfectly envelops the physical, emotional, and spiritual struggles that exist in every relationship within the family and as individuals. I love you, friend❤️

This resonated with me for many reasons. I am now dealing with trying to care for my in-laws. And while my husband and I are great at that, work together, agree - "we" are not okay. Your words gave me hope and consolation.

Really beautiful, Jeanine. And thanks for sharing this story. I was really touched about the way forward. It’s so hard in the moment and it just takes one person to soften the ice between two partners. How nice that you could stop in the parking lot and open up and that he could take your hand. Marriage is very sanctifying that’s for sure! Sending you lots of love!
