[quote=Anonymous]Chronic illness of any kind is hard on a marriage. The illness, stress, the side effects of medication...the list is never ending. When my spouse became ill I became his caregiver, while taking care of small kids and still working full time. His whole personality changed and he was critical and mean...all side effects of the lifelong illness, combined with his own depression. Thankfully he had a psychologist who specialized in patients with chronic illness. She saved our marriage. She helped him work out his anger, get his medication changed, and helped him see that I wasn't the enemy. I don't judge anyone who divorces after having a child or spouses diagnosed. Marriage is hard, illness is hard, and together sometimes they break people. Sad but true.[/quote]
